| Obverse description | Colourful Expressionist-style notgeld vignette printed in red, green, and dark blue on white paper, with an organic, irregular scalloped border. The large numeral '50' in red dominates the centre, flanked by stylised tulips, flowers, and abstract fauna rendered in a folk-art manner. The issuing text curves around the central denomination in hand-lettered script, with the date 'April 1. 1922' inscribed at lower right and the printer's imprint 'Druckerei Appelhans, Braunschweig' at the foot. |

| Reverse description | Striking Expressionist vignette printed in deep red and purple-violet on white paper, rendered in a bold woodcut style. The central figure of a gaunt, semi-draped man with arms raised — an allusion to the legend of the Pied Piper's curse — stands against a dark background framed by symmetrical decorative medallions bearing the '50 Pf' denomination and stylised floral roundels. A circular cartouche at the lower centre reads 'FLUCH DES RATTENFÄNGERS' enclosing the '50 Pf' numeral, flanked by two crouching red beasts. |
