| Obverse description | Printed in red and green on plain paper, the note carries the denomination '50 Fünfzig Pfenn' in large Gothic script across the centre, flanked by circular guilloche medallions with the numeral '50' at left and right. A central oval vignette bears a crowned seated figure — the Büsum civic emblem — encircled by the legend 'Marspei Go Büsum'. The issuing authority 'Nordseebad Büsum' appears below in Gothic lettering, with the issue date '1. Juli 1921.' at lower left and 'De Ortsvertretung.' at lower right; a serial number is printed in the upper right field. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in red, the reverse is enclosed within an Art Nouveau floral border with blossoms at the corners and sinuous plant tendrils along the sides. The central vignette, titled 'Büsumer Seehundsjäger' in Gothic script, illustrates two hunters pursuing a seal on a coastal shoreline, with a sailing vessel visible on the water in the background. Below the vignette, a four-line verse in Gothic script reads as a regional folk poem referencing the seal and the dune sands of Büsum. |
