| Obverse description | Printed on a salmon-pink underprint within a multi-ruled red and grey border, the note carries bold denomination numerals '50 Pf.' at left and right. A central vignette in colour presents the Deutsche Hochschule building in Tingleff, with a flagpole flying the Imperial German flag, set against a sky rendered in pale blue; the caption 'DEUTSCHE HOCHSCHULE' appears in a panel below the vignette. Validity text appears in Danish on the left ('Gyldig indtil 1 Maaned efter offentlig Bekendtgørelse') and in German on the right ('Gültig bis 1 Monat nach öffentlicher Bekanntmachung'), with the date 'Tingleff, den 10. April 1920' and the signature of the Gemeindevorsteher (Martens) at foot; the designer's name 'L. Thaysen.' is printed at lower left. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed on a yellow ground enclosed within an ornamental border of repeated scallop motifs. A vertical border post divides the design into two equal halves, labelled 'Danmark.' on the left and 'Deutschland.' on the right, referencing the Schleswig plebiscite of 10 February 1920. Each half carries a four-line verse in the respective language — Danish on the left and German on the right — alluding to the Tiedje Line border dispute. The lower portion of both halves is occupied by contrasting silhouette panoramas: a rural Danish village with a church steeple at left, and an industrial German landscape with a factory chimney and windmill at right; denomination value '50' appears in octagonal cartouches at each upper corner. |
