50 yen note

The 50 yen note (五十円紙幣) was a denomination of Japanese yen that was issued from 1872 to 1958 (non-consecutively) in paper form. The first two issues for this denomination are rare for various reasons, including the latter of the two not being released for circulation. The final issue (also known as "B series") was short lived as it was only issued from 1951 to 1958. Eventually a "stop payment" order was given causing the old 50 yen bills to be pulled from circulation in favor of the 50 yen coin. While "B series" notes continue to retain their legal tender status, they are now worth more as collectables.
