| Obverse description | The left portion of the obverse carries a large vignette portrait of an unidentified male figure rendered after a painting attributed to Albrecht Dürer — the sitter has been variously identified as the Nuremberg merchant councillor Hans Imhof or the patrician Willibald Pirckheimer. To the right, a harbour scene occupies the central and right fields, rendered in intaglio and showing a tall-masted sailing vessel at anchor alongside dock workers and waterfront buildings. Denomination numerals '50' appear at upper right and lower left, with the Gothic-script legend 'Fünfzig' repeated centrally and at lower left, and 'DEUTSCHE MARK' set in letterpress below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse repeats the Dürer-attributed male portrait vignette on the left field, rendered in the same intaglio technique as the obverse, here serving primarily as the watermark control zone. The right field carries the anti-counterfeiting statutory warning text in compact letterpress, with the denomination numeral '50' and the word 'Fünfzig' repeated at upper right and lower left. A circular BDL monogram seal in red is printed at lower right. |
