| Obverse description | Grey-green note with a red dotted border running the full perimeter. The upper portion carries a four-line text block in Gothic (Fraktur) script advising redemption terms, above a serial number printed on lined guilloche underprint. The central vignette consists of a white cartouche within a broad horizontal band lettered 'Gut 50 Pfg' in bold red Gothic type, set against an elaborate red-brown arabesque floral underprint filling the entire field. Below, the issuing authority, place, and date of issue are given in Gothic script, followed by two manuscript facsimile signatures for the Amtmann and the Gemeinde-Vorsteher, with the printer's imprint at the foot. |

| Reverse description | Grey-green note with a matching red dotted border. The central vignette, drawn by C. Supan of Detmold, illustrates a jovial elderly man in traditional regional dress — brown coat, red waistcoat, checked breeches, and white stockings — holding a cigar and leaning on a cane, with a stylised townscape in the background. A Low German dialect verse runs across the top and bottom of the note in bold Gothic lettering, with the denomination '50 ℘' printed in red at the upper right. Two small rectangular label vignettes at the lower corners identify the cigar brands 'Clara' and 'Florfina'. |
