50 Francs silver coin minted in Belgium in a version with Dutch (Flemish) legends during the early years of Baudouin I's reign. The obverse features a prominent Mercury head looking to the right, inspired by classical models of antiquity and executed with a modern and vigorous style, a traditional symbol of commerce and prosperity. The reverse shows the Belgian rampant lion beside the national shield and the denomination 50 F, forming a heraldic composition of great visual strength.
