| Obverse description | Printed in black with yellow-gold underprint, the obverse carries a central vignette of a sailing ship entering Havana harbor with El Morro castle in the background, flanked by two seated allegorical female figures — one holding a cornucopia, the other a staff. Agricultural and industrial vignettes surround the central composition, including a tobacco plant, palm trees, a sugar mill with smokestacks, and cattle hauling a cart laden with sugar cane. Denomination numeral '50' appears in each corner, with the full text of the promise-to-pay legend across the center of the note. |
