Appearance

Horizontal note in blue and yellow tones, 110 × 60 mm -- unlike the vertical smaller denominations of this series. The obverse is split into a plain white field at left (the USSR arms at top, "1924" at bottom) and a wider, patterned field at right with a wavy-line ground, "ПЯТЬДЕСЯТ КОПЕЕК" between two digits "50", the silver-coin-parity text and the printed signatures of the Commissar of Finance and a cashier. The reverse has a yellowish ground: an ornamental frame at left, a large digit "50" at centre with "С.С.С.Р." below, the value spelled out in Russian plus five more union-republic languages at left and right. Watermark: "windows" -- squares made of four smaller squares, in groups of four separated by lines.
