| Obverse description | Central vignette presents a detailed woodcut-style panoramic view of Bolkenhain in Silesia, with the hilltop castle ruins rising above the town's rooftops and church spires, signed 'HANDKE' at lower right of the vignette. Two stone-carved standing figures on pedestals flank the central scene — a male figure with staff at left and a draped female figure at right — each set within ornate architectural niches. The lower portion carries the denomination inscription 'Eine Mark und Fünfzig Pfennig' alongside the town's coat of arms, with the printer's imprint 'FLEMMING – WISKOTT – A.-G. GLOGAU' along the bottom margin. |

| Reverse description | Central woodcut vignette by Bruno Handke renders a romanticised landscape view of Burg Schweinhaus in Silesia, with the medieval castle ruin atop a wooded hill and a horse-drawn cart traversing the foreground fields; a village with church spire is visible in the right distance. Denomination panels bearing '1·50 M' are set within ornamental shield cartouches on both the left and right margins, framed by intricate Gothic foliate borders. Below the vignette, the town's armorial crest is centred between decorative grotesque ornaments, flanked by the captions 'BURG SCHWEINHAUS' and 'IN SCHLESIEN', with the designer credit 'BRUNO HANDKE' at lower corners and the design registration number 'D.R.G.M. 795679' at the lower right margin. |
