The denomination numerals '50' appear in bold red letterpress at lower left and lower right within ornamental cartouches, while the arched issuer inscription curves across the upper field in red Gothic script. A guilloche border frames the entire composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in grey-olive and red on cream paper, its entire surface structured by an intricate guilloche framework of scrollwork and wave-pattern borders. A central rectangular panel carries the authorisation text in German script, with the denomination spelled out in red Gothic lettering as 'Fünfzig Heller' in two horizontal bands above and below the text block; the numerals '50' appear in red at left and right. The redemption deadline inscription runs along the lower margin, and two manuscript facsimile signatures of the Bürgermeister and his deputy are placed beneath the authorisation text. |
