Obverse description The obverse carries a humorous Expressionist-style vignette rendered in black letterpress over a stippled ground, showing a rotund traveller striding left while carrying an oversized red suitcase and a purple bag bearing the large numeral '50'. A speech-bubble cartouche in Fraktur script occupies the upper right. Below the vignette, the validity legend and issuing authority 'WAREN (MÜRITZ)' are set in bold sans-serif type, accompanied by three manuscript signatures of the Rat, Stadtverordnetenvorsteher, and Oberstadtsekretär.

Reverse description The reverse presents a panoramic townscape of Waren an der Müritz printed in dark blue-black over a salmon-orange guilloche underprint of repeating scallop-wave motifs. A windswept tree rises on the left, while the silhouette of the town's church steeple and rooftops stretches across the centre against the textured sky. The denomination numeral '50' in large purple figures and the legend 'PFENNIG' appear along the lower margin, with 'BEUTEGELD WAREN' inscribed in bold block lettering at the upper right.
