The New Generation Banknote Series of the Philippine peso were released in December 2010. Among these banknotes, the 50-peso bill feature Sergio Osmeña. It can be recalled that aside from Osmeña was the only first Philippine president born in Visayas (Cebu).
The obverse side of the New Design / Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Series 50-peso bill has a mace and gavel representing Osmeña's role as Speaker of the Philippine House of Representatives from 1907 to 1922. The reverse side of the New Design / BSP Series 50-peso bill features an image of the National Museum building, formerly the Legislative Building. Five palm trees, presumably coconut, can be seen at the front of the building.
