| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in brown, black, and red tones with an ornamental border of scrollwork and geometric panels. A central vignette within an arched frame presents a detailed line-art view of the Wunderblut Kirche (St. Nicholas Church) of Wilsnack, with figures in the foreground and trees framing the scene; a caption below reads 'Wunderblut Kirche · Baubeginn 1384 / Wirkung des Wunderblutes.' The denomination '50' appears in bold numerals at upper left and right, flanked by two circular red wax-seal vignettes — the town seal (SIGILLVM WILSNACK) to the left and the church seal (KIRCHEN-SIEGEL WILSNACKS) to the right — while the validity legend 'Wilsnack gültig bis 20. Juni 1922' is inscribed at lower left and the issuing authority 'Der Magistrat / Bürgermeister' with a facsimile signature appears at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is rendered in salmon-pink and black tones with a symmetrical ornamental border of stylized leaf-and-column motifs enclosing diamond and scroll panels. The central vignette, captioned 'i. Jahre 1383,' reproduces a medieval woodcut-style scene of figures engaged in a violent act near an altar within a church interior, referencing the historical miracle of the Holy Blood of Wilsnack. The denomination '50' in bold numerals within black hexagonal panels appears at upper left and right, with 'Pfennig' inscribed below each, and a lower scroll cartouche carries a Middle Low German caption. |
