The Nigerian fifty-naira note (₦ 50 or NGN 50) is a denomination of the Nigerian currency. When the note was introduced in October of 1991, it was the banknote with the highest denomination in Nigeria at the time.[1][2] The front of the note features four portraits of ordinary Nigerians: three men representing the major ethnic groups (Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba) and a woman symbolising the Middle Belt. While the back features a depiction of three fishermen at work, symbolizing Nigeria's agriculture and industry, often with a catch of fish, representing hard work and economic activity, in rural areas
