| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark green on cream paper and takes the form of a stylized architectural frame with stepped and notched borders. At the top, the word PFENNIG appears in bold block lettering, with the numeral 50 rendered in a dotted-circle vignette below it. The central panel carries a five-line Low German verse in Gothic script, and at the foot of the frame sits the city arms of Sternberg as a heraldic shield. Validity and authorization inscriptions appear in small text along the left and right margins, accompanied by two manuscript signatures, with STERNBERG in large display type along the lower border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark green and orange on cream paper, structured within the same distinctive stepped architectural frame as the obverse. At the top, PFENNIG appears in bold Gothic lettering flanked on each side by the denomination numeral 50 in large outlined figures. The central vignette presents a detailed pen-and-ink view of a prominent church tower with a pointed steeple, surrounded by lower townscape buildings set against a cloud-streaked sky, all rendered in an expressionist graphic style against an orange ground. Below the vignette, the inscription REUTER GELD / STADT STERNBERG is set in bold Gothic type within a pointed shield-shaped lower border. |
