| Obverse description | The obverse is laid out in a tripartite horizontal composition with dark red rectangular frames on cream paper. The left and right panels each bear the denomination numeral '50' above the word 'Heller' in bold Gothic type, with text panels below containing the guarantee clause and issuance details respectively; the right panel includes manuscript signatures dated 15. April 1920 from the Bürgermeister and municipal officials. The central vignette presents a detailed line-art view of a historic arched gateway or town gate in Weissenkirchen, with a bare-branched tree in the foreground and village rooftops and a church tower visible beyond.
