| Obverse description | The upper portion of the note is occupied by a large vignette rendered in red and black, showing a mounted knight in armour on a rearing white horse against a stylised skyline of Erfurt's spires and towers. To the right of the horse, a group of figures in period costume — including children — observe the scene, evoking a medieval festival or procession. The denomination "50 Pfennig" appears in bold blackletter numerals at lower left and lower right, flanking a central text panel bearing the issuing authority inscription and date in Gothic script, with a circular embossed city seal and a handwritten magistrate's signature below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in red and black on a fine guilloche underprint in pale rose. The denomination "Fünfzig Pfennig" is set in large blackletter script across the upper centre, flanked at all four corners by red-framed panels each bearing the numeral "50" above "Pfennig" in bold type. The central field carries a multi-line redemption text in Gothic script, and the Erfurt civic arms — a wheeled emblem within an ornate cartouche — are placed at the lower centre. The border is formed by a continuous decorative wave pattern. |
