| Obverse description | Dark background with a bold vertical stripe pattern in black and yellow — the heraldic colours of the city of Crefeld — with the municipal coat of arms at upper left. A large diagonal banderole in cream overlays the centre, carrying the denomination text and the voucher conditions in Gothic script. Denomination numerals '50' appear in diamond-shaped lozenges at lower left and lower right. The serial number is printed in red at the foot of the note. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in the same black and yellow vertical stripe underprint as the obverse, with a large circular vignette at left containing the bold numeral '50'. To the right, a woodcut-style illustration of a pensive bearded elder wearing a brimmed hat is rendered in blue and ochre tones, his hands raised thoughtfully to his chin — a folk-art motif characteristic of the German Notgeld aesthetic of the early 1920s. |
