| Obverse description | Cream-toned notgeld printed in dark brown and black by letterpress, with a decorative guilloche border and denomination numeral '50' repeated in each corner. At upper centre, the issuer's name is set in Gothic blackletter script, with a large ornate '50' vignette flanked by 'Pfg.' abbreviations occupying the centre field; to the left, the municipal coat of arms of Bad Wildungen — an eight-pointed star within a shaped escutcheon — is rendered in fine line engraving. The date 'den 25. März 1920' and place name 'Bad Wildungen' appear at lower left, accompanied by three manuscript signatures above the legend 'Der Gemeindevorstand', with a vertical serial number printed in grey at the right margin. A redemption clause in small Gothic type runs along the lower portion of the note. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a warm reddish-brown tone and carries a large central photographic-style vignette of the Wildunger Kurpark, showing the colonnaded spa pavilion set amid wooded hills with strolling figures in the foreground. The denomination numeral '50' appears in all four corners within circular guilloche ornaments, each flanked by an eight-pointed star motif. Above the vignette, a three-line devotional verse in Gothic blackletter script is attributed to Hufeland, 1832, with a small ornamental chain border separating the text from the pictorial scene. |
