Obverse description Tan and brown Notgeld note with decorative scalloped border in the Jugendstil manner. A central circular vignette within a rope-style wreath contains a stylised wooden barrel bound with yellow and white hoops, a local emblem alluding to Lügde's craft traditions. The denomination '50' appears in bold red Gothic numerals flanking the vignette on both sides, surmounted by the inscription 'Stadt Lügde' in dark brown Fraktur script, with a payment obligation text and facsimile signatures of the Sparkassen-Vorstand below, dated 'Lügde, den 16. Februar 1921', and a serial number at lower right.

Reverse description Polychrome vignette occupying the central field shows a panoramic view of the historic Lügde townscape with a round medieval tower and snow-dusted rooftops reflected in water, signed 'Fr. Drewes' at lower right. The upper border carries a ribbon cartouche inscribed 'Stadtmauer' flanked by pine-branch ornaments, while crossed halberds and hunting horns decorate the lateral panels. The denomination '50' appears in white numerals at all four corners against a brown ground, and the town arms — a crenellated red wall above a white field charged with a red cross and a key — are placed centrally at the foot of the vignette above the inscription 'Stadt Lügde' in Fraktur.
