| Reverse description | A standing female figure, representing the allegorical embodiment of labor and industry, is depicted in the center of the field, holding a hammer in her raised right hand poised above an anvil at her side. A smoking volcano rises in the background to the right, symbolizing the natural landscape of the Philippine archipelago. The denomination legend 'FIFTY CENTAVOS' arcs along the upper periphery, while the date appears in the lower field. The overall composition reflects the nationalist and industrious iconography characteristic of mid-twentieth-century Philippine coinage. |
