| Beschrijving voorzijde | The left portion of the note carries a vignette of a hand raised aloft holding a waving Danish Dannebrog flag, set against the silhouette of a black eagle — an allusion to the reunification of North Schleswig with Denmark — with the dates 1864 and 1920 inscribed below, referencing the loss and recovery of the territory. To the right, the denomination '50 Penning' is printed in large bold letterpress type within a ruled panel, beneath the town name heading. Below the denomination panel, a Danish-language text states the note's validity period, followed by a manuscript signature on behalf of the municipality, the place and date of issue, and a red serial number at the foot. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is dominated by a central octagonal vignette framed by a dotted border, within which a woman in traditional dress kneels beneath a flowering apple tree gathering fruit into a basket, with a manor house and water visible in the background. Flanking the central vignette are large numeral '50' denomination figures on each side, each accompanied by a circular portrait medallion in the lower corners depicting local figures in traditional Schleswig headwear, set against oak-leaf decorative borders. The town name 'Graasten' appears in a cartouche at the foot of the design, and an apple-and-foliage frieze runs along the upper border. |

This note was issued in 1920 during one of the most consequential administrative transitions in the region's modern history: the plebiscite period following World War One, when the fate of Schleswig — and Graasten specifically — was being decided between Germany and Denmark. Notgeld of this type filled the void left by monetary uncertainty during the handover process, printed locally by A. Ritscher rather than any central authority.
Graasten fell within Zone 2 of the plebiscite area, which voted to remain German in March 1920 — yet the town was ultimately assigned to Denmark anyway as part of the final border settlement that July.
