| Obverse description | Bicolour Notgeld printed in orange and grey-violet, centred on the civic arms of Zons — a mounted knight on a rearing horse with a standing attendant figure beneath a crenellated tower gateway on an orange shield — flanked left and right by large white denomination numerals '50' set within circular orange underprint medallions, each surmounted by the legend 'Pfennig'. A scrolled Fraktur banner above the arms carries the issuer's title, with diagonal black-and-white pennants to either side, while the designer's credit 'H. Lütkens' appears at the upper right. A text panel at the foot of the note gives the redemption clause, place and date of issue (Zons, 1 October 1921), and the Bürgermeister's facsimile signature. |

| Reverse description | Bicolour vignette in orange and grey-violet presenting a receding cobbled street scene of Zons, with half-timbered and masonry buildings lining both sides of the road beneath a stylised cloudy sky, and the medieval Judenturm — its distinctive domed spire prominent above the surrounding roofline and foliage — closing the perspective at the far end. The tower's name 'Judenturm.' is inscribed in Gothic Fraktur script at the upper right of the composition. A two-line verse in Fraktur lettering occupies the lower left of the vignette. |
| Reverse lettering | Judenturm. "Frühlingsmorgenrot der Erden, Völkerslenz wann brichst Du an?" |
