| Obverse description | The note is divided into three vertical panels within ornate baroque-style frames with gilded scroll cartouches at corners. The left panel contains a vignette of a traditional Krempe bird-shooting festival ('Kremper Vagelscheeben') with a figure aiming at a target on a tall mast. The central panel bears a Low German inscription in an arch above a figure of a man in period costume ('De künnt Mänslüd'), while the right panel carries the redemption text in Low German dialect signed by the Bürgermeister, dated 'Krempe im Decbr. 1920', with a facsimile signature below. |

| Reverse description | The left three-quarters of the note are occupied by a multicolour letterpress vignette of a rural waterway scene near Krempe, with figures working along the bank and a sailing vessel and town silhouette in the background; below runs the Low German motto 'Wer Müt hat leistet Widerstand' within a decorative guilloche border. To the upper right, the denomination '50 Penn' is set in a red panel with bold numerals, beneath which a blue panel carries the founding dates '1234 / 1271', and below that the polychrome civic arms of Krempe. The designer's signature 'Jul. Nielsen-Itz.' appears at the lower right. |
