Obverse description The upper portion of the note carries two colour vignettes flanking a central octagonal denomination cartouche printed in yellow-green on dark brown, bearing the numeral '50' and 'Pfg.'; the left vignette shows the Hauptbahnhof (main railway station) with a locomotive, while the right vignette shows a street scene labelled 'Stadtbahnhof'. A foliate vine border in green frames the entire note. The lower register contains a ribbon scroll with a Low German regional verse, below which the place and date 'Hagenow, in Oktober 1921' appear alongside two facsimile signatures over their respective titles, with a serial number at lower left. The title inscription 'Notgeld der Stadt Hagenow' runs in Gothic script across the top.

Reverse description The reverse presents a pastoral landscape vignette drawn by O. Menzel, with a group of deer at left and cattle grazing at right beside a stream, set against a wooded background with a church spire in the distance. At centre-top, the city arms of Hagenow — a red shield bearing a mitre-crowned bishop's bust — are overlaid on the scene. A ribbon scroll at lower centre carries the legend 'Notgeld der Stadt Hagenow' in Gothic script, flanked by two dark hexagonal cartouches each bearing '50 PF.' in yellow-green. The printer's imprint appears along the bottom edge, and an oak-leaf decorative border frames the entire composition.
