| Obverse description | Within a raised pearl border, the municipal coat of arms of Elberfeld occupies the central field, depicted as a heraldic shield surmounted by a mural crown with three visible towers. The shield bears a rampant lion passant over a striped base, rendered in bold relief. The city name legend STADT- ELBERFELD is inscribed along the left and right margins, flanking the arms in Latin characters. The overall design is plain and functional, consistent with the utilitarian character of wartime Notgeld coinage. |

| Reverse description | Within a raised pearl border, the large numeral '50' dominates the central field in bold, deeply struck relief. The legend KRIEGSGELD and the date 1918 arc across the upper portion of the field, with PFENNIG inscribed along the lower margin in smaller lettering. The composition is straightforward and legible, emphasizing the denomination and wartime emergency nature of the issue. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional ornamental devices. |
