Obverse description The municipal arms of Attendorn occupy the central field, depicting a quartered shield bearing a cross and a crescent moon motif, surmounted by a mitre-wearing bishop figure holding a crozier in his left hand and a book in his right, with a crescent moon appearing to either side of his head. The heraldic device is rendered in high relief with fine detail. The circular legend STADT ATTENDORN arcs around the lower periphery of the coin in bold Latin characters.

Obverse lettering STADT ATTENDORN
Reverse description The large denomination numeral '50' dominates the central field in bold raised figures. The circular legend NOTGELD 1920 arcs around the upper periphery, while PFENNIG runs along the lower arc, the inscription flanked on each side by a five-pointed star serving as punctuation. The overall design is stark and utilitarian, consistent with emergency coinage production of the Weimar-era inflation period.
