| Obverse description | Printed on rust-brown paper, the obverse bears the heading 'BLO SAADOW' at the top in large ornamental letterpress script, followed by a series letter 'D' and the authorization line referencing the Supreme National Council decree of 8 June 1794. A central vignette presents the coat of arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth flanked by the cursive legend 'Bilet Skarbowy' (Treasury Note), with the numeral '50' in a framed box at left and the word 'PIĘĆDZIESIĄT' in a framed cartouche at right. The lower portion carries a lengthy handwritten-style typeset text in Polish detailing the note's legal tender obligations, overlaid by large letterpress underprint letters 'B' and 'S' in red-orange, with two manuscript signatures and a handwritten serial number in an oval cartouche at the foot. |
