| Obverse description | The obverse features the large numeral '50' prominently displayed in the center of the field, rendered in bold relief. Surrounding the denomination, a circular legend reads 'STADT · AACHEN' along the upper arc and the date '1920' along the lower arc, separated by raised dot stops. The design is stark and utilitarian in character, consistent with the Notgeld emergency coinage aesthetic of the Weimar-era inflation period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a finely detailed bust of an eagle's head in left profile, occupying the majority of the field. The feathering of the neck and head is rendered with considerable artistic skill, with crisp, layered detail. A single six-pointed star appears in the upper field above the eagle's head. The field is otherwise plain and unlettered, lending a clean, modern appearance to the design. |
