| Obverse description | Woodcut-style vignette printed in red and green on cream paper, framed by a geometric sawtooth border in green at left and right margins. The central motif renders a crowned equestrian figure — referencing Emperor Otto I, founder of Magdeburg — in bold expressionist linework, with a stylised cathedral vignette in the background; a diagonal red banner carries the inscription MAGDEBURG and the date 1921, while the denomination 50 PFENNIG appears on a second diagonal ribbon at lower right. The issuing authority DER MAGISTRAT is lettered below, accompanied by an embossed official municipal seal; the artist's monogram K.T. is placed at lower left, with the serial number printed vertically in black along the left margin. |

| Reverse description | Woodcut-style panoramic vignette printed in red and green on cream paper, enclosed within the same geometric green sawtooth border as the obverse. The central composition presents a stylised medieval cityscape of Alt-Magdeburg along the River Elbe, with multiple church spires, towers, and fortified walls spread across the scene; a sailing vessel with a green sail navigates the foreground waters, rendered in rhythmic wave patterns. A two-line verse inscription appears above the vignette, and an embossed official municipal seal is applied at lower left. |
