About this banknote
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe issued the 50,000,000-dollar bearer cheque (Pick 57) on April 2, 2008, during a period of severe hyperinflation. This denomination was introduced to address the rapid devaluation of the Zimbabwean dollar, necessitating higher-value notes to facilitate daily transactions.
The front of the note features the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe's logo, while the reverse depicts three elephants. Measuring 148 x 74 mm, the note is printed on paper and includes a solid security thread with demetalized "RBZ" and a watermark of the Zimbabwe Bird Type C with an electrotype "RBZ". The note was signed by Dr. Gideon Gono, then Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe.
