| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black and red, with the denomination numeral "50" appearing in large red characters at upper left and lower right. A decorative Gothic-script heading reads "Pfennig Notgeld der Gemeinde" across the top, with the issuer name "Rieder" rendered in oversized blackletter capitals dominating the centre-right field, accompanied by a small inset vignette of a rural landscape. Validity and authorisation text is set in Gothic letterpress along the left margin, with the regional designation "Ostharz" below the issuer name. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in brown tones and carries a central circular vignette illustrating a scene from the legend of the "little brown man" (der kleine braune Männlein), a feared Harz robber, with figures in a woodland setting. Flanking the central medallion, dense Gothic-script letterpress text narrating the historical account fills both side columns, while decorative foliate borders frame the lower edge. The denomination "50" appears in large numerals at the bottom centre. |
