Obverse description Multicolour Notgeld vignette printed in black, orange, and ochre tones, with a large central scene referencing the Thirty Years' War (30jähr. Krieg): a tumultuous crowd of period-costumed figures in flight amid flames and smoke, rendered in an expressive woodcut-like style. The denomination '50 Pfennig' appears in large Gothic blackletter at lower left, with the issuing authority inscription in Gothic script along the top border. A central cartouche at the bottom bears the place name 'Gross-Flottbek', the issue date '1. Aug. 1921', the validity limit 'Gültig bis 1. Sept. 1921', and a manuscript facsimile signature of the Gemeindevorsteher (municipal head).

Reverse description Multicolour vignette in blue, green, and red tones, with a central scenic view of a tree-lined avenue identified as 'Alte Weiden i. d. Schillerstrasse', with strolling figures beneath the canopy of old willows. Red diamond-shaped panels bearing '50' flank the central image on left and right, and the denomination '50 Pf.' appears in large red Gothic lettering at the base. The ornate border carries a Low German verse inscription in Gothic blackletter running along all four sides. The printer's imprint 'Kunstanstalt Langebartels & Jürgens, Altona' appears in small type at the lower left margin.
