| Obverse description | Issued on plain pink paper in a rudimentary letterpress typeset format, this wartime circulating chit is enclosed within a thin rectangular border. The denomination 'P .50' is set in the upper corners, with the issuing authority 'UNITED STATES FORCES IN THE PHILIPPINES / SEVENTH MILITARY DISTRICT' in bold uppercase across the upper field and 'FIFTY CENTAVOS' in large display type at centre. A serial number appears twice flanking the legend 'CIRCULATING CHIT', with the restriction 'GOOD ONLY IN CPW AREA' along the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, printed on the same plain pink paper, is essentially blank with no typeset design or text. A fingerprint impression is applied near the centre of the field, serving as a rudimentary authentication mark, with faint impressed markings along the right margin consistent with emergency-issue identification measures applied to these military chits. |
