| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait vignette of poet Pencho Slaveykov (1866–1912) at centre-left, his name and life dates inscribed in Cyrillic vertically alongside the portrait. A multicolour holographic stripe runs along the left edge, incorporating a small secondary portrait of Slaveykov and the denomination numeral "50" in colour-shifting ink. To the right, underprint vignettes include a neoclassical building facade and a horse-drawn carriage, set against an elaborate guilloche background. The large optically variable "50" numeral appears at lower right, with the bank title in Cyrillic along the right border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is composed as a literary tribute, centred on illustrations drawn from Slaveykov's poetic works: a standing female figure at left and a large mythological firebird at centre-right rendered in fine line-art style. Reproductions of the poet's handwritten manuscript verses appear in the lower-centre field, accompanied by a typeset excerpt from his poetry in old Bulgarian orthography at right. The denomination "50" in colour-shifting ink sits at lower left, with the bank name in Cyrillic along the left border and the anti-counterfeiting notice at upper left. |
