| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green and black on white paper, with the city arms of Kitzingen — a crenellated tower — displayed at the top centre within decorative ribbon banners carrying the issuer legend. The lower half presents a silhouette panorama of the Kitzingen skyline with church steeples and rooftops against a green ground. At the bottom, two ornamental cartouches flank the central denomination inscription; the left cartouche bears the date and the manuscript signature of the Rechtsk. Bürgermeister, while the right cartouche contains the serial number and validity clause. The printer's imprint appears in the lower margin. |

| Obverse lettering | GUTSCHEIN DER STADT KITZINGEN a.M. FÜNFZIG 50 PFENNIG. STADTRAT KITZINGEN 1. MÄRZ 1921 RECHTSK. BÜRGERMEISTER GÜLTIG BIS 3 MONAT NACH BEKANNTGABE. K. Triltsch, Würzburg-Aumühle. |
| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in green and black, framed by a bold decorative border with grapevine motifs — bunches of grapes and tendrils rendered in silhouette — running down both side panels. The central vignette, signed 'R. POTHER' and numbered '2' in the upper field, shows a humorous silhouette scene of a period-costumed figure bending to search an empty purse while a second ruffianed figure gestures open-handed in mock despair. The denomination numerals '50' appear in large green Art Nouveau figures in the lower corners, with a Franconian dialect verse in letterpress along the top and bottom borders. |
