| Obverse description | Brown and blue Notgeld note with a geometric guilloche underprint of repeated '50' numerals and floral rosettes across the entire field. To the left, a bold black vignette of the heraldic Berlin bear rearing upright occupies a framed panel, with a large numeral '50' beside it; a serial number appears in a blue cartouche at lower left. The central text panel, set in elaborate Gothic blackletter script, carries the denomination, issue designation, date, and issuing authority, with two manuscript signatures below; to the right, a circular embossed dry seal of the Magistrat zu Berlin is set within a blue interlaced ornamental border. |

| Reverse description | Brown and blue note with wide blue interlaced ornamental side borders framing a central vignette rendered in a woodcut-style engraving after a historical view of Köpenick circa 1820, showing a large sail barge under full sail on the Dahme or Spree waterway, with figures on deck and a panoramic townscape — including a church steeple and rooftops — visible on the far bank beneath a clouded sky. The left border panel bears the inscription 'BEZIRK' above the issue number '16' and 'Köpenick' below; the right border panel carries the district name 'Köpenick' and the historical date 'um 1820' in calligraphic script. |
