| Obverse description | Central vignette within a heraldic shield displays a Madonna and Child in a radiate glory, flanked by two quartered coats of arms, all set against an ornate dark background of stylised acanthus foliage with red berries. Denomination numerals '50' appear in red at upper left and upper right corners, with the written value 'Fünfzig' and 'Pfennig' on scroll-like banners at centre left and right. Three text panels at the base carry the validity clause, a biblical quotation, and the place-date with the Magistrat facsimile signature of the Bürgermeister; the printer's imprint 'DRUCK: J. A. SCHWARZ · LINDENBERG i/ALLGÄU' runs along the bottom margin. |

| Reverse description | The central panel presents a green-tinted vignette of a seated bronze statue on a pedestal, set within an arched surround of dense scrolling ornament on a dark ground. Flanking panels in lighter colours depict genre scenes of local market life: at left, townspeople with a balloon vendor; at right, two children carrying a heart-shaped object before a town backdrop. Denomination numerals '50' appear in red at upper left and upper right, and a four-line verse in German occupies a ruled text panel across the full width of the lower margin. |
| Reverse lettering | 50 Zu Dürrenberg wird Salz gekocht, / Zu Artern auch und Kösen; Zu Hettstedt Kupfererz gepocht / Und Silber aufgelesen. Und an dem Rand des Quernebachs / Steht Querfurts Burg noch heut'gen Tags. / Berühmten Markt hat diese / Auf ihrer Eselswiese. |
