| Obverse description | Printed in violet and rose on white paper, the obverse is framed by an intricate floral and foliate guilloche border with denomination numeral "50" in each corner medallion. The upper central area carries the issuer's title "BANK POLSKI" in an ornate cartouche, below which the large intaglio inscription "PIĘĆDZIESIĄT ZŁOTYCH" spans the width of the note. Below the title, the date "WARSZAWA dn. 28 Lutego 1919 roku." and the legend "Dyrekcja Banku Polskiego." appear above two manuscript signatures. A circular intaglio portrait vignette of Tadeusz Kościuszko in left-facing profile is positioned at lower left, while a corresponding blank watermark circle appears at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is executed in a rose-violet guilloche underprint of dense geometric and floral lacework filling the entire field. "PIĘĆDZIESIĄT ZŁOTYCH" is inscribed in large letters across the top, with denomination numeral "50" in circular medallions at upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right corners. A central text panel carries the legal tender clause in Polish, below which an anti-counterfeiting warning is printed in smaller type. At lower right, a circular intaglio vignette contains the Polish crowned white eagle — the national arms — set against a finely engraved background, flanked by sheaves of wheat and cornucopia motifs. |
