Obverse description The obverse presents a colourful multicolour letterpress vignette centred on a full-length figure of Saint Nikolaus (St. Nicholas) in full episcopal vestments — mitre, crozier, and pallium — set within a large ornate oval cartouche with red rocaille scrollwork, below which appears the Rosenheim civic rose coat of arms. Panoramic townscape vignettes of Rosenheim, with the Alpine foothills in the background, flank the central cartouche to left and right. The denomination '50 Pfg.' appears in bold red and black at lower left, the issue date 'D. 16. FEBRUAR 1921' and the authority 'STADTRAT' with a facsimile signature appear at lower right, and the header inscription 'NOTGELD DER STADT ROSENHEIM' runs across the top within a red band.

Reverse description The reverse is printed in multicolour letterpress on a cream ground, centred on a detailed architectural vignette of a Rosenheim arcade or town-gate passageway rendered in dark engraved lines, framed by large symmetrical baroque gold acanthus-scroll ornaments above and below. Colourful sprays of roses and flowering branches in red and green decorate the lateral margins, while the denomination numeral '50' appears in bold red within black corner blocks at all four corners. The legend 'Notgeld von Rosenheim.' is set in two parts flanking the upper portion of the central vignette, and the printer's imprint 'GEBR. PARCUS MÜNCHEN.' runs along the bottom margin below the border.
