| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark brown and green on cream paper, with a decorative dotted border enclosing the entire design. The heading reads 'GEMEINDE GUTSCHEIN SIERNING' in bold Gothic lettering across the top, with the denomination 'Fünfzig Heller' rendered in large ornate Fraktur script against a green underprint panel. Below, a two-line guarantee text in German script states that the Municipality of Sierning pledges its entire communal assets, followed by two manuscript facsimile signatures — those of the Finanzreferent (Finance Officer) and the Bürgermeister (Mayor). A central oval vignette at the foot presents a panoramic view of Sierning with the church tower visible among the townscape, flanked by green guilloche rosettes bearing the numeral '50', with 'FÜNFZIG HELLER' repeated in the side borders. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark green on cream paper and divided into three vertical panels. The left panel contains a vignette of a male agricultural worker in a field, carrying a sack over his shoulder. The right panel mirrors this composition with a female figure holding a scythe and a basket, also set in a rural landscape. The central panel carries a block of German text citing the municipal resolution of 20 March 1920 authorizing the issue of vouchers up to a total of 60,000 Kronen, redeemable in legal tender until 1 July 1921, followed by the anti-counterfeiting warning 'Nachahmung wird bestraft'. Below this text, the denomination '50 Heller' is printed in large decorative numerals and Fraktur script. |
