| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in blue-grey on white paper with a fine wavy-line guilloche underprint covering the entire field. The denomination numeral '50' appears in large bold type at both upper corners, each accompanied by the word 'Pfennig.' in vertical orientation. A rectangular cartouche at the top centre contains the serial number prefix and number, while below it a block of Fraktur text sets out the payment obligation of Bankhaus Janßen, Westerland; the large Fraktur legend 'Fünfzig Pfennig' dominates the lower half of the note. The place and date 'Westerland, den 1. April 1919.' appear at the foot, above the printer's imprint 'Druck Seimar Bayer Berlin S.O 36' outside the outer border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black on white paper and presents a central circular vignette enclosed within an ornate guilloche border with scrollwork flourishes at the cardinal points. Within the vignette, a finely engraved view of the Bankhaus Janßen building in Westerland is rendered in detailed letterpress, showing a multi-storey commercial structure with a distinctive stepped and pointed gable roof, arched ground-floor windows, and a shop fascia at street level. The surrounding field is filled with an intricate lace-pattern guilloche mesh, giving the reverse a richly textured appearance. |
