| Obverse description | Black letterpress on salmon-toned paper with an orange guilloche underprint. The central vignette presents a panoramic woodcut-style view of the Bremen cityscape as seen from the River Weser, with multiple church spires and rooftops rendered in bold graphic lines. Denomination numerals '50' appear at upper left and right within the border frame; the date 'Bremen, den 15. Sept. 1921' is inscribed at lower left, accompanied by two manuscript signatures and a red oval stamp of the Finanzdeputation Bremen at lower centre. |

| Reverse description | Black letterpress on salmon-toned paper with an orange guilloche underprint. Two allegorical woodcut-style figures flank the large central denomination numeral '50': at left, a robed merchant or trader in a wide-brimmed hat stands beside a palm tree, evoking Bremen's overseas trading connections; at right, a harbour worker holding a pole stands before industrial port scenery. A redemption text in German occupies the centre below the numeral, beneath which a red oval Finanzdeputation Bremen stamp is applied. |
