| Obverse description | Cream and red Notgeld note with a decorative Gothic script denomination 'Fünfzig Mark' across the upper register. The central vignette, set within a diamond-shaped frame flanked by two large circular numeral medallions reading '50 M', presents a full-length figure of Reinold der Ritter (Roland the Knight) in armour, mace raised, against a stylised Dortmund cityscape with church spires. Below the vignette an italic caption reads 'Io so nos Dioron'; the lower portion carries the issue text naming the municipal and district cashiers of Dortmund and Hörde, the date 'Dortmund, am 10. Oktober 1922', and two manuscript signatures below the seal of the Stadt Dortmund. Marginal text runs along all four borders citing the authorising Reichsgesetz. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in deep red and black on a cream guilloche underprint of interlocking wave patterns. A central rectangular vignette, signed 'Landwehrmann', shows three striding workers — a carpenter, a smith, and a miner — rendered in a bold Expressionist woodcut style, with a crossed-hammer mining symbol at right. The vignette is flanked by two ornamental circular medallions incorporating stylised denomination numerals and Westphalian motifs. Flowing ribbon banners curve around all four sides of the composition, carrying a verse text in Gothic script; the printer's imprint 'West-Werbe-Dienst Dortmund' appears at the lower centre margin. |
