| Obverse description | The obverse features the municipal coat of arms of Ahlen centrally positioned within the field, depicting a horseshoe and a floral or foliate element on a quartered shield surmounted by a mural crown with three towers. A beaded border runs along the inner rim. The city name legend is divided on either side of the arms, reading STADT to the left and AHLEN to the right, each word flanked by pellet stops. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the large numeral denomination '50' prominently in the center of the field. The circular legend KRIEGSGELD 1917 arcs along the upper portion of the field, while PFENNIG appears along the lower portion, both separated from the denomination by a beaded inner border. Cross and pellet ornaments flank the legend on either side. The overall design is plain and utilitarian, consistent with wartime emergency coinage. |
