| Obverse description | Blue-grey note printed in dark brown, centred by a woodcut-style vignette of a thatched haystack or barn with a small farmhouse beneath, set in a rural courtyard scene. The denomination '50 PFENNIG 50' appears in large bold letterpress across the top, flanked by circular ornamental devices, with the issuing authority 'Der Rat der Stadt Schwaan' and three facsimile signatures at lower right, and a validity inscription at lower left. A three-line Low German dialect verse in letterpress runs across the full width below the vignette. |

| Reverse description | Cream and blue-grey note printed in dark brown and ochre tones, the face dominated by a bold Expressionist woodcut vignette of the Schwaan parish church with its characteristic pointed steeple and adjoining nave, flanked by trees and with a small figure in the foreground. The inscription 'REWUERGELD STADT SCHWAAN' runs within a ruled border across the top, with the denomination 'PFENNIG 50' placed at upper right. The graphic treatment is consistent with the Expressionist woodcut aesthetic widely employed in German Notgeld issues of the early 1920s. |
