| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into three vertical panels by a multicolour grid-pattern underprint in green, blue, and ochre squares. The two lateral panels each carry the large numeral '50' above the word 'Pfennig' in Gothic Fraktur script, flanked on each side by the word 'Gutschein'. The central panel, set against a yellow-and-ochre chequered background, bears a multi-line Gothic text legend naming the accepting establishments and the place of issue, with the printer's imprint 'Peter Paul Bendschneider, Hamburg 15.' printed in Roman type below the lower border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a finely executed letterpress vignette spanning the full width of the note, rendered in dark blue-black ink over a yellow underprint. On the left, a panoramic view of the Dresden skyline along the Elbe river with a bridge in the foreground is visible; on the right stands the Belvedere building on the Brühlsche Terrasse, flying a flag from its roof. A large stylised oak tree frames the upper portion of the composition, its canopy bearing the patriotic motto in Gothic script. Central text in Fraktur lettering identifies the establishment and its address, with a serial number printed at the base of the central cartouche. |
