| Obverse description | Multicolour letterpress note with an elaborate geometric border in dark red, blue, and gold, incorporating repeating floral rosette corner panels. A large central vignette within a circular frame presents the heraldic coat of arms of Osnabrück — a wheel charged with a smaller wheel — flanked by two bearded armorial supporters in Renaissance dress. The denomination numeral '50' appears in dark red Gothic script within round cartouches at left and right, and a circular legend running the full perimeter of the vignette carries the issuing authority text and date in Fraktur script. |

| Reverse description | Multicolour letterpress design with a central rectangular vignette captioned 'Das Waterloator' at upper right, illustrating the historic Waterloo Gate of Osnabrück rendered in warm ochre, green, and deep red against a blue sky with white clouds. Stylised interlaced geometric ornaments in blue and orange flank the vignette on both sides, each incorporating the denomination numeral '50' at top and the abbreviation 'Pfg' at bottom in Gothic script. Below the vignette, a four-line verse in Low German Fraktur script commemorates the Osnabrück men who fought at Waterloo. |
