Obverse description The central vignette presents a letterpress view of a church tower set against steep Rhine valley cliffs, rendered in blue, black, and ochre tones, flanked left and right by small inset panels each showing a red-roofed castle ruin on a rocky promontory. Two lateral text panels carry poetic verses in Gothic script, while denomination cartouches at lower left and right display '50' in bold red numerals within an ornate octagonal frame. The lower central section bears the validity clause, date of issue, place of issue, and the Bürgermeister's manuscript signature.

Reverse description The reverse is dominated by a central arched vignette in the Jugendstil manner, enclosing a Pietà composition — a crowned Virgin Mary in white, red, and blue robes cradling the body of Christ — set against radiating beams of light within a beaded arch. Flanking panels to the left and right carry symmetrical guilloche ornaments in tan and blue, with the inscriptions 'AVE' and 'MARIA' in bold red capitals. The denomination '50' appears in large black numerals at the lower left and right corners, the issuer name 'Camp Bornhofen' runs across the lower centre, and the designer credit 'Hans Kruzwicki' together with the printer imprint 'GEBR. PARCUS MÜNCHEN.' appear at the foot of the note.
