| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green, brown, and rust tones with an ornate Art Nouveau border incorporating foliate and floral motifs at the corners. The central vignette presents a heraldic shield set against a panoramic townscape of Raguhn, the shield bearing a crenellated city gate with two towers and a rampant bear, above which a scroll is inscribed with the serial number; the denomination numeral '50' appears in circular cartouches at lower left and right. The lower panel carries the validity clause, the issuing authority line, the serial number, and two manuscript signatures, with the issuance date 'August 1921' at the lower right; the artist credits 'GEORG' and 'GOLDREIN' are visible beneath the vignette. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in olive-green, brown, and rust tones with a matching Art Nouveau decorative border of stylised foliage and floral roundels. The central vignette, set within an oval frame, presents a detailed letterpress view of the local paper factory ('Die Papierfabrik') with its prominent chimney stack and industrial buildings amid trees; the denomination numeral '50' appears in ornamental cartouches at left and right, each accompanied by the word 'pfenig'. Rhyming couplets in blackletter script occupy the upper and lower panels, alluding humorously to Raguhn's paper-making industry. |
