| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a central vignette of a medieval German soldier in full armour, standing above the elaborately rendered Donauwörth civic coat of arms — a double-headed eagle in orange and black with a crowned shield bearing the letter 'W', flanked by oak-leaf sprays. Two circular denomination cartouches, each enclosing '50 Pf.' in blue Gothic script within a wreath of green foliage with red berries, are positioned to the left and right. Two decorative red-bordered text panels in the upper corners carry patriotic verse in blackletter script, while the lower left bears the issuing authority and date 'Stadtmagistrat Oktober 1918' and the lower right the city name 'Donauwörth' with a facsimile signature of the acting Bürgermeister; the artist's name 'Heinz Schiestl' is engraved at the base. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is laid out in a tripartite composition framed by a decorative border with red ornamental corner cartouches each bearing the numeral '50'. The central panel contains a detailed line-engraved vignette of a historic Donauwörth townscape with a tall gabled tower and surrounding half-timbered buildings. The left flanking panel carries validity text in blackletter script, and the right panel states the redemption condition, both enclosed within red scroll ornaments. The top header reads 'Kriegsgeld Donauwörth.' in bold blackletter, and the bottom carries the denomination legend 'Fünfzig Pfennig.' across the full width. |
