| Reverse description | A tall oil palm tree dominates the central field, its trunk serving as a divider between the large numeral '50' to the left and the denomination letter 'C' to the right, together forming the value '50 C'. The mint mark 'D.B.' appears in small characters at the base of the palm trunk on issues so marked. The bilingual legend 'BANQUE CENTRALE' curves along the upper arc in French and 'CENTRALE BANK' along the lower arc in Dutch, each phrase flanked by a small star. The composition is simple and emblematic, with the oil palm as a well-known symbol of central African colonial coinage. |
