| Obverse description | Central oval vignette illustrates a ploughman guiding a horse-drawn plough across a field, rendered in fine letterpress in dark brown on a cream ground. Decorative scrollwork and foliate ornaments frame the composition on all sides, with two circular guilloche medallions at left and right each bearing the numeral '50' in green. The issuer's name appears in Gothic script along the upper border, and a rural proverb runs across the lower panel in two lines of Fraktur lettering. |

| Reverse description | A panoramic vignette of the village of Wippenham occupies the upper portion of the note, printed in a light ochre-gold tone. The central text block, set in a combination of Roman and Fraktur typefaces, states the issuing authority, the municipal council resolution date of 6 June 1920, the denomination in large Gothic script, the redemption terms, and a counterfeiting prohibition. Circular guilloche medallions at each corner and lateral panels bear the word 'Heller' and the numeral '50' in green, while the place name 'Wippenham' appears in large Gothic script along the lower border as an underprint. |
