| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a large Gothic blackletter inscription reading 'Notgeld der Stadt Detmold' above the municipal coat of arms at centre, rendered in red and grey on a cream field, showing a fortified tower gateway with a six-petalled rose in red. Denomination numerals '50 Pf.' appear in shield-shaped cartouches at lower left and right, flanked by decorative red and grey foliate border panels in an Art Nouveau manner. The lower portion carries the serial number at left, a red-printed text block stating the redemption conditions, and two manuscript signatures above the printed issuer designation 'Der Magistrat'. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a silhouette vignette in black on a cream ground at centre, illustrating a mounted Roman general on horseback confronting Germanic warriors with spears — a reference to the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. Red shield cartouches bearing the white numeral '50' flank the scene at left and right, while stacked Roman and Germanic arms form narrow vertical border panels. Two-line verse inscriptions in block capitals run above and below the central vignette. |
