| Obverse description | Black intaglio print on white paper. The left portion of the note is occupied by a large central vignette of a steam locomotive in three-quarter view, set within an oval frame with fine lathe-work border. The bank title EL BANCO NACIONAL HONDUREÑO runs across the top in bold lettering, with the denomination numeral 50 at upper right. Below the main title, the text PAGARÁ CINCUENTA CENTAVOS AL PORTADOR A LA VISTA EN MONEDA CORRIENTE appears in graduated letterpress. A rectangular panel at right carries a notice that the note will be accepted as legal tender at all treasury offices of the Republic, flanked by two denomination counters reading 50. Three manuscript signatures appear at the bottom, identified as El Ministro de Hacienda, Presidente, and Director, with the imprint of American Bank Note Co., New York at the lower margin. |
