| Obverse description | Central vignette presents a coloured street-scene view of an Augsburg thoroughfare with the Perlachturm tower rising prominently in the background, flanked by period townhouses rendered in a lithographic style. The four corners each carry octagonal cartouches with the denomination numeral '50 Pfg.' in red on a green ground, and stylised Art Nouveau column borders with foliate ornament run along both vertical edges. Below the vignette, a text panel in Gothic script gives the validity clause dated 1 January 1918, signed by the Stadtmagistrat and countersigned by the Oberbürgermeister, with the printer's imprint 'Etikettenfabrik Augsburg' at lower left. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette, signed 'J. Weidenbacher' at lower left, renders a dramatic allegorical scene in a coloured lithographic style: a heroic male figure wields a lance against a grotesque dragon-like creature while a kneeling female figure watches from the right, set against a dark wooded background. At the top, a crowned city arms cartouche is framed by elaborate Art Nouveau scrollwork in green, with small rosette ornaments at the corners of the inner border. A two-line patriotic verse in Gothic script appears below the vignette, and the denomination numeral '50' in red is set within a foliate cartouche at the foot of the note. |
| Reverse lettering | Steht unsre Mark im Kurs auch schlecht, Das Mark im deutschen Arm ist echt. 50 |
