| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a bold Fraktur inscription 'Notgeld der Stadt Finsterwalde' across a panelled header. The central vignette presents the heraldic shield of Finsterwalde — a medieval fortified gate tower flanked by two trees set within a pointed escutcheon — surmounted by a mural crown, all executed in multicolour letterpress. Two flanking cartouches in black carry the validity and payment texts, while the denomination numeral '50' and abbreviated 'Pf' appear in large red figures at lower left and right corners; below the central vignette a ruled panel bears the place-date inscription 'Finsterwalde im Juli 1921' and the legend 'Der Magistrat:' with two facsimile manuscript signatures. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a large central vignette of a historicising genre scene rendered in dark tonal multicolour print, showing a group of armoured medieval figures — knights bearing lances and shields — gathered in an interior setting, recalling a civic historical episode. The denomination numeral '50' appears in red within ornate cartouches at left and right, flanked by decorative vertical border elements of stylised spear motifs and medallions. A titled caption panel above the vignette and a footer inscription in Fraktur script frame the composition. |
