| Obverse description | Central octagonal vignette bordered by a dotted frame presents a view of a historic town gate with a red-roofed tower set against a blue sky, rendered in a fine letterpress illustrative style. The denomination numeral '50' appears in red at both upper corners in decorative Gothic lettering, with the title 'Fünfzig Pfennig' and the initials 'F.B.' arched across the top. Two text cartouches in blackletter script flank the central vignette, the left bearing a folk verse and the issuing authority 'Der Stadtrat Dez. 1920' with a manuscript signature above 'i. Bürgermeister', while the right carries a validity clause; a red serial number appears at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries the issuer's title 'Gutschein der Stadt Mainbernheim' in large Gothic blackletter across the top, above a central octagonal vignette on a crimson ground showing an armoured knight in full plate raising a lance over a rearing bear, rendered in a vigorous woodcut-style illustration. Two heraldic shields in blue and red — one bearing a diagonal chevron device, the other the Bavarian lozenge pattern — flank the central vignette at lower left and right, each accompanied by the abbreviation 'Pfg'; the denomination '50' appears in bold at upper left and right within guilloche-patterned cartouches, and the designer's signature 'Franz Böhm' is inscribed below the central vignette above a silhouetted townscape panorama. |
