| Obverse description | Printed in red on buff paper, the obverse is enclosed within a decorative letterpress border composed of repeated geometric and foliate ornaments. A central vignette carries the civic arms of Gronau — a heraldic shield with a diagonal band — set against a lightly ruled guilloche-style underprint. The issuing authority legend appears in the upper panel, with the large denomination numeral '50' and the words 'Pfennig' and 'Notgeld' overprinted in a bold darker red across the centre, and the year '1917' set in the lower panel. A circular violet cancellation stamp is visible at the upper left corner. |
