| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in red, black, and beige tones on a guilloche underprint ground. At centre, the arms of Stendal — an eagle displayed on a shield — form the principal vignette, flanked left and right by octagonal cartouches each bearing the denomination numeral '50'. The upper portion carries the title inscription in bold Gothic script on a black band, while the lower register displays issuance text, the hand-stamped serial number, date, and two manuscript signatures above a silhouette skyline of Stendal's churches and towers. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in red, black, and beige tones, with a guilloche-patterned ground. The central vignette, rendered in silhouette style, illustrates a humorous local folk scene in which townsfolk pursue a bull they have mistaken for a bear, set against a hatched landscape background. Standing bears in outline are positioned at the left and right margins as decorative lateral elements. Denomination numerals '50' appear in large red Gothic figures in the lower corners, with a Low German caption panel at lower centre referencing episode seven of the Osterburg legend. |
