| Obverse description | Lavender-grey ground with a red and dark blue double-rule border framing the entire face. At centre, a shield-shaped vignette bearing the heraldic bull's head of Laage — rendered in dark blue with red eyes and nostrils and a protruding red tongue — surmounted by a red fleur-de-lis. The denomination '50' appears at upper left and 'Pf.' at upper right in large Gothic script, with 'NOTGELD' and 'LAAGE' inscribed below the vignette. Four lines of Low German verse in Fraktur script occupy the lower half of the note, above the validity clause and two manuscript signatures. |

| Reverse description | Lavender-grey ground with a dark blue border matching the obverse. A central arch-shaped vignette in orange, dark blue, and olive tones illustrates the tower and red-tiled roof of the Laage church, with two cloaked figures amid windswept grasses and a cross in the churchyard, evoking a nocturnal scene. The denomination '50' appears at upper left and upper right in large bold numerals, with 'PFENNIG' running vertically on each lateral margin; 'NOTGELD DER STADT LAAGE' is inscribed in bold block lettering across the lower portion of the note. A caption below the vignette cites the Goethe verse reference. |
