| Obverse description | The obverse is framed by an elaborate green guilloche border of dense foliate scrollwork enclosing the central field, where the bank title "De Javasche Bank" appears in brown script above a mirrored "50" underprint. The denomination "VIJFTIG GULDEN" is overprinted in bold red letterpress across the centre, while the bank monogram vignette occupies the top centre and signature lines for Secretaris and President are indicated at lower left and right respectively. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is executed in monochrome olive-grey tones as an unfinished trial design, with a large central circular guilloche medallion enclosing a six-pointed star bearing the interlaced "JB" bank monogram, flanked by symbolic tool-and-pen devices. Four blank rectangular panels at the left, right, top centre, and bottom centre are reserved for text or serial number insertion, while two diamond-shaped lozenges at the lower corners each carry the numeral "50", the entire layout reflecting a preparatory proof state with all lettering fields left void. |
