Obverse description Notgeld note in Jugendstil style with a bold wave-pattern guilloche border in green, black, and grey. The central vignette portrays a dramatic coastal rescue scene with figures in a storm-tossed boat amid crashing waves, overlaid at centre by the circular municipal seal of Marne bearing the Latin legend 'SIGILLVM VNIVERSITATIS TERE-LETHMARCIE'. Denomination numerals '50' and 'Pf.' appear in red circular cartouches at left and right, with Gothic script inscriptions across the upper and lower margins and the serial number and two facsimile signatures of Stadt Marne-Dithmarschen officials below the vignette.

Reverse description The reverse, printed in a complementary grey and green palette, bears a central vignette in a folk-art manner showing two women in traditional Dithmarschen peasant dress in a rural landscape, with a thatched farmstead visible in the background. Denomination figures '50' and 'Pf.' in red Gothic numerals occupy all four corners, while Low German verse runs along the upper and lateral margins in black Gothic lettering. The inscription 'Notgeld der Stadt Marne' appears across the lower margin, and the printer's imprint 'Kunstanstalt Langebartels & Jürgens, Altona' is printed in small type at the bottom edge.
