Obverse description The centre of the obverse is occupied by the heraldic shield of the city of Trier on a red field, bearing a robed figure of Saint Peter holding a key and a book, rendered in a medieval artistic style with a golden halo. Large red numerals '50' flank the shield on either side, with 'Pfg' monograms in red at the lower left and right corners. A dense yellow-ochre underprint of repeated '50 Pfg' lettering covers the entire field, and a text block in Gothic script below the shield gives the validity clause and issuance details, concluding with the signature of the Oberbürgermeister.

Reverse description The upper portion of the reverse is dominated by a bold Gothic script heading 'Notgeld der Stadt Trier' in black with red shadow. Below it, a large black-and-white vignette presents a panoramic cityscape of Trier with the cathedral (Dom), the Church of Our Lady (U.l. Frauen), and St. Gangolf church identified by caption, their spires rising against a clouded sky. The lower margin carries the denomination '50 Pf' in red on both sides flanking a Gothic script verse, with the printer's imprint 'SCHAAR & DATHE, TRIER' at the very foot.
