| Obverse description | The central vignette presents a bold silhouette of Quedlinburg Castle and its collegiate church rising from the Schlossberg, set against radiating sunburst lines in a stark two-tone letterpress composition. Denomination numerals '50' appear in large Gothic type in the left and right panels, flanked by fine guilloche-patterned borders. Text panels at left and right carry the validity and acceptance clauses in Fraktur script, with the serial number printed at lower left. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a dramatic Scherenschnitt (paper-cut silhouette) vignette by artist Walter Heege, showing a standing figure holding a crown aloft above a kneeling figure bearing a cross, with a second standing figure at right — an allegorical scene evoking homage or coronation. Flanking panels carry ornamental silhouette designs of birds and foliage with a printed crown in terracotta, and the denomination '50' appears at upper left and right in Gothic numerals within the dark border panels. A green letterpress inscription runs along the lower margin below the central scene, with the printer's imprint in small type at the very bottom edge. |
