| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is divided into three vertical panels against a green and gold ground, with the denomination numeral '50' printed in white within oval cartouches at left and right, flanked by elaborate floral and foliate ornamental scrollwork. The central vignette bears the heraldic shield of the city of Lenzen, displaying a fortified gateway with two towers above a double-headed eagle, executed in fine letterpress. The upper register carries the title inscription in Gothic blackletter script on a dark band, while the lower register contains a three-line historical text in Gothic script and a facsimile signature within a yellow panel beneath the magistrate designation. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse carries a large scenic vignette enclosed within a decorative leafy border, rendered in fine line engraving on a cream and pale ochre ground. The central scene presents a view of the Burg (castle) of Lenzen — a cylindrical stone tower with a domed cap rising above a wooded hillside, with an adjacent stone building visible to the right. Below the vignette, a three-line descriptive text in Gothic script provides historical notes on the castle's construction in the 13th century and its expansion by the Quitzows in the 14th century, noting the tower's height of 28 metres and diameter of 12 metres. |

Lenzen an der Elbe is a small town in Brandenburg that issued this note as part of Germany's Kleingeldersatz emergency — the chronic small-denomination coin shortage that plagued the country from roughly 1916 onward and pushed thousands of municipalities into printing their own fractional currency. Gebrüder Parcus in Munich handled a significant volume of this Notgeld work, supplying towns across Germany with competently printed but commercially produced scrip.
The Scheel signature identifies the issuing authority as the Bürgermeister's office rather than a local savings institution — municipal rather than banking issuance, which was the more common arrangement for smaller Elbe-region towns.
