| Obverse description | The obverse carries the coat of arms of Catalonia at upper left, alongside a panoramic vignette of the town of Alcanar seen from the sea, with fishing boats rendered in the foreground. Surrounding text in Catalan establishes the issuing authority, denomination, date of issue, and mandatory local circulation status. The overall design is executed in a simple letterpress style typical of wartime Spanish municipal emergency notes. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in olive-yellow on plain paper and centres on a vignette of a clump of reeds — the heraldic symbol of the local municipal shield — rising from ground level. The denomination numeral '50' appears to the left and the abbreviation 'CTS' to the right, both set within scrollwork cartouches, while the legend 'AJUNTAMENT' arches across the top and 'D'ALCANAR' is lettered in bold capitals below the central plant motif. |
