| Obverse description | Black on green underprint. The design is printed in letterpress within an elaborate ornamental border of interlocking arabesques and cartouches. A central oval vignette at top contains a mosque dome motif within a beaded frame, flanked by two tughra seals. The denomination '50' appears in numeral cartouches at lower left and right corners, with the value also inscribed in Dari script at upper left and right. Serial number and Afghan year 1298 appear in large Eastern-Arabic numerals across the central panel, with a bold calligraphic inscription below. Multiple marginal inscriptions in Naskh script carry additional official legends. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in pale grey-green, largely as an offset impression of the obverse design, giving it a ghost-printed appearance consistent with uniface notes of this era. A central vignette shows a royal figure within a sunburst frame, and the same ornamental border of arabesques frames the composition. A purple circular official stamp is visible at the right side of the note. |
