| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in sepia and olive tones, centred on an oval portrait vignette of Dr. Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch, rendered in a woodcut-style illustration with the subject's name inscribed below the portrait within a decorative frame bearing the motto "HILF DIR SELBST SO HILFT DIR GOTT." The denomination "50 PFENNIG 50" appears in large bold Gothic lettering across the upper field, flanked by ornamental foliate scrollwork, with the issuing authority legend "GUTSCHEIN DER STADT DELITZSCH" arching across the upper centre and the validity date "GÜLTIG BIS 20. AUGUST 1921" inscribed to either side of the portrait. Below the vignette, the text "DER MAGISTRAT" appears above two facsimile signatures, with the denomination "50" repeated in large numerals at lower left and right, and the word "GOTT." at the foot; the artist's credit "A. UEBEL" and the year "1921" are printed in the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in sepia and olive tones, with a central octagonally-framed vignette in the woodcut style of artist A. Uebel, presenting a view of a historic Delitzsch street scene known as "Die Münze," with closely packed gabled buildings lining a cobbled lane under an open sky. To the left and right of the central frame, two square cartouches each contain a heraldic lion passant, serving as decorative armorial devices. The caption "DIE MÜNZE." is inscribed in Gothic lettering below the central vignette, with the artist's name "A. UEBEL" printed in the upper-left corner of the frame. |
