| Obverse description | Dark brown ground with yellow and green letterpress printing throughout. The denomination '50 Pfennig' is set centrally in bold green Gothic script, flanked to the left by the Swabian heraldic shield with a rampant black lion and to the right by an oval vignette of a fortified tower with cross. The issuer legend 'Gutschein von Schw. Gmünd' runs across the top in ornate Gothic lettering, below which the validity clause, issue place, and date of 1 September 1921 are rendered in yellow script; a serial number cartouche and two manuscript authorisation signatures appear at the foot, with corner denomination numerals '50' in green on a decorative vine-scroll border. |

| Reverse description | Woodcut-style vignette printed in dark brown, yellow, and green on a cream ground, signed 'A.H. 1921' in the upper right corner. The central scene illustrates the medieval legend of the juggler of Our Lady: a young musician kneels on a chequered floor playing a fiddle before a crowned, haloed Madonna figure draped in green robes who bends forward from her pedestal in benediction, a crucifix visible to the left. Circular denomination roundels inscribed '50 PFENNIG' are positioned at the left and right within symmetrical green foliate scroll borders, and a two-line verse caption in Gothic lettering runs along the lower margin. |
