| Obverse description | Central vignette presents a woodcut-style landscape of the Gothmund fishing village on the Trave river, with sailing vessels moored along the bank, trees, and rooftops rendered beneath a billowing clouded sky with horizontal line underprint in blue. Flanking the central scene are two full-length figures in traditional fishermen's attire — a male figure at left holding a pole and a female figure at right carrying a basket — both executed in bold black letterpress. The lower portion carries a red-bordered panel with the issuing authority inscription and validity date, with the denomination numeral '50' printed in blue on each side; the printer's imprint 'H. G. RAHTGENS, LÜBECK.' appears below the central vignette, and a manuscript signature is visible at lower right. |

| Reverse description | Central woodcut-style vignette illustrates a lively outdoor scene of the Gothmunder Treibelfest, a local folk festival, with multiple figures in period dress dancing or socialising beneath hanging lanterns and a tent canopy, rendered in vigorous black line work against a blue-toned background. Decorative ornamental panels in blue flank the central scene on both sides, incorporating stylised foliate and geometric motifs. Inscribed text panels at lower left and lower right carry Low German dialect verses, while a caption band at the foot of the central image identifies the depicted festival and its occasion. |
