| Obverse description | The central vignette consists of a large denomination numeral '50' above the legend 'PFENNIG' set against a red-brown guilloche underprint with a diamond lattice pattern. Vertical side panels carry the validity and serial number inscriptions in letterpress, while a decorative frieze of stylised fish runs along the upper border. The lower panel bears the issuing authority inscription in bold serif type, with the issue date and the Oberbürgermeister's facsimile signature beneath. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a satirical coloured vignette illustrating a devil on a galloping black foal seizing a crouching miser clutching a money-bag, set against a deep red ground — a direct visual rendering of the anti-profiteering verse quoted below. Vertical side borders are composed of repeated circular medallions each inscribed '50 PF.' The lower panel contains a two-line verse quotation in bold letterpress with a source attribution in smaller type beneath. |
| Reverse lettering | WIE KOMMEN DIE WUCHERER IN DIE HÖLLE? 'AUF EINEM SCHWARZEN FOHLEN SOLL SIE DER TEUFEL HOLEN' NACH EINEM ALTEN SOLDATENLIED |
