| Obverse description | The centre of the note is occupied by a circular vignette set within an ornate baroque cartouche, presenting a view of the twin-towered parish church of Lindenberg im Allgäu flanked by trees. The denomination '50 Pf.' appears in large red Gothic numerals at each corner, with a gold floral and cross-pattée underprint covering the entire field. Validity and issuing authority inscriptions in black Gothic script appear to the left and right of the central vignette, with the serial number at lower left and the Bürgermeister's manuscript signature at the bottom centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into three vertical panels: the left panel contains the blue-and-white lozengy coat of arms of Bavaria above a wreath enclosing the numeral '50' in red, the right panel mirrors this layout with the Imperial German eagle coat of arms, and the central panel presents a vignette of a medieval knight in chainmail and surcoat bearing an Iron Cross, shouldering a weapon against a swirling gold arabesque underprint. Red ruled borders frame the composition at top and bottom, each bearing a patriotic motto in black Gothic script. |
