This used 50,000 Romanian lei banknote is a standard circulation banknote issued by the National Bank of Romania. It is a purple, violet, brown, blue, and orange polymer banknote that is dated 2001, bears the signatures of Mugur Constantin Isarescu and Ionel Nitu, and measures 155 mm x 70 mm. Its obverse side shows the national coat of arms, a musical score underprint, carnation flowers (Dianthus dianthus), a BNR monogram, a violin, two musical notes, and a portrait of George Enescu. Its reverse side depicts an underprint of musical notes, an excerpt from the musical score of the King Oedipus opera, a BNR monogram, a piano, and a view of the Romanian Athenaeum concert hall in Bucharest. Because the banknote is made of a polymer substrate, it does not have a security thread or a watermark. However, it has a lyre registration device. The banknote was withdrawn in 2005.
