| Obverse description | The obverse is laid out in a decorative art nouveau frame with a teal guilloche border and bold yellow denomination numerals '50' in the upper and lower corners, flanked by stylised floral vignettes in pink and yellow. The central panel carries the place name 'Möllenbeck' in Gothic script beneath a cross motif, with the subtitle 'Grafschaft Schaumburg' below. The main vignette illustrates a stone well surrounded by rabbits and vegetation, captioned 'PATER-BRUNNEN', with the inscription 'ANNO X 1010' carved on the stonework; below the vignette appears a three-line verse in Gothic script referring to the knights of Schaumburg and the Paterborn spring. |

| Reverse description | The reverse mirrors the teal guilloche border and yellow '50' corner numerals of the obverse, with flanking arch-framed vignettes depicting a young woman in medieval dress at left and a nun in full habit at right. A musical staff with notes and the lyric 'Ins Kloster wollt sie gehen, wollt werden eine Nonn'' occupies the upper panel. The central vignette presents a detailed line-drawn view of the Möllenbeck convent church captioned 'Möllenbeck, freiadliges Nonnenstift von 896–1441', with the validity clause, issue date, and two manuscript signatures of municipal officials printed in the lower panel. |
