| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green on a cream paper ground and centred on a vignette of the St. Laurentius Church at Lorch, framed within a pointed Gothic arch supported by ornate pillars. Denomination numerals '50' appear in octagonal cartouches at left and right, each surmounted by decorative scroll-work and floral ornaments, with the word 'Heller' lettered below each cartouche. A band of repeating stylised exclamation-mark and dot ornament runs across the upper border, and the inscription 'ST. LAURENTIUSKIRCHE ZU LORCH' is set along the lower margin. |
