| Obverse description | Green and black notgeld printed on pale paper, with a panoramic vignette at centre showing a hilltop castle and town of Rössel set within a semicircular arch bearing a quotation from Schiller's Wilhelm Tell. Surrounding the arch, genre scenes of craftsmen and tradespeople at work fill the upper register in a lively letterpress composition. At lower left, a shield-shaped stamp reads 'Magistrat der Stadt Rössel'; the denomination 'Fünfzig Pfennig' appears in bold Gothic script below the vignette, with the issuing authority 'Magistrat-Rössel-Ostpr.' and three manuscript signatures in the bottom panel. The printer's imprint 'Pelinger-Rössel' appears at the very foot of the note. |

| Reverse description | Green and black on pale paper, the reverse is dominated by three interlocking guilloche rosettes forming a decorative underprint across the full field, with the large numeral '50' and the word 'Pfennig' overprinted in black at centre, accompanied by the series letter 'A' below. Validity text is split across the left and right flanking panels, and the issuance date 'Rössel, den 15. Oktober 1920.' appears at lower left above a standard anti-counterfeiting warning in Gothic script. |
