| Obverse description | Printed in dark brown on ochre-yellow paper, the obverse is divided into three vertical registers. The left vignette contains a stylised Luther rose with a cross at centre, rendered in bold woodcut style; the right vignette shows a sunburst wheel ornament. The large Gothic numeral '50' occupies the central panel within a double-ruled border, flanked below by the issuing text in Fraktur script, the serial number, date 'Erfurt, den 7. April 1921', and a manuscript signature for Der Magistrat, with the printer's imprint 'A. Hanf – Erfurt.' at the foot. |

| Reverse description | Printed in dark brown on ochre-yellow paper, the reverse bears a bold Expressionist woodcut-style vignette at centre, portraying a robed male figure — identifiable as Martin Luther — confronting a snarling wolf or beast, both rendered with strong angular lines characteristic of early 1920s German graphic art. Decorative typographic border panels in Fraktur script flank the central image on the left and right, carrying a two-part quotation. The printer's imprint 'OTTO RICHTERS U. Co, ERFURT.' appears in the lower right margin. |
