| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into three horizontal registers. The upper register contains two dark cartouches at left and right bearing the Gothic-script legends 'Stadt' and 'Goch' respectively, flanking a central intaglio vignette of the Rathaus (town hall), labelled above. To the left is a circular guilloche medallion with the numeral '50' and the inscription 'Pfennig' repeated around the inner ring; to the right, a matching circular vignette carries the Goch municipal coat of arms with the legend 'Gochenis Sigilum' in Gothic script. The lower register, set on a purple-tinted ground, carries the redemption text in German blackletter, the series designation 'Serie B', the place and date 'Goch, d. 1. 6. 1921', a red serial number, and the Bürgermeister's manuscript signature to the right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in monochrome brown and presents a panoramic street-scene vignette spanning the full width of the note, with the historic Haus 'Zu den fünf Ringen' at left and the medieval Steintor (stone gate) at right, both labelled in the upper corners. Figures and pedestrians animate the foreground street. A large circular guilloche medallion is centred over the composition, bearing the numeral '50' with 'Pfennig' inscribed in the inner ring above and below, flanked by ornamental interlaced knotwork devices above and below the medallion. The printer's imprint 'Schleicher & Schuell Duren' appears in small type at the bottom centre. |
