| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central intaglio vignette presents an idealized pastoral agricultural scene: a farmer's wife at left carrying a basket of fruit and a farmer at right planting a tree, both rendered in a classicizing style. The denomination numeral '50' appears in each corner, while bilingual treasury inscriptions run along the lower margin with the engraver's and designer's credits at lower left and right respectively. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The intaglio central vignette shows a male mower at left wearing a wide-brimmed hat and holding a scythe, with a woman at right binding a sheaf of wheat against a broad harvest landscape. Sheaves of wheat at the base flank the large denomination numeral '50', while a guilloche-bordered panel at lower left carries the date and serial prefix, and the Directeur-Général der Thesaurie signature appears at lower right. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Belgian Treasury's direct-issue notes of this period bypassed the National Bank entirely — an arrangement rooted in postwar fiscal politics, with the Treasury retaining authority over small-denomination paper while the central bank handled larger instruments. This 50-franc type ran for eight years under that division, with two signature variants bookending the series.
Poortman and Minguet were the dominant engraving names in mid-century Belgian note production, and their work here is competent but unremarkable by their own standards. Buisseret, better known as a painter and muralist, contributed designs to several Belgian issues of this period.
The print run of just over twelve million across eight years is modest — consistent with a denomination that saw genuine but not heavy everyday use.
