| Obverse description | The obverse is set within a decorative multi-layered border in red, blue, and black with a repeating diamond and star pattern on the outer frame. The central vignette displays the crowned coat of arms of Oldenburg flanked by two rampant lions on either side, rendered in dark blue against a hatched underprint, with a rippled ribbon banner below. Denomination numerals "50 Pfg" appear at lower left and right, the year "1921" is printed at the bottom of the central panel, and two facsimile signatures appear above it, with the issuing authority text in Gothic blackletter script reading "Die Handelskammer Oldenburg i/O." |

| Reverse description | The reverse is enclosed in a scalloped blue border and dominated by a large pastoral vignette rendered in fine letterpress in dark blue and red, showing a standing horse at centre, a foal and a figure with a whip to the left against a rising sun, and a helmeted soldier bearing a standard to the right amid harvest sheaves. Two sweeping ribbon banners — one arching across the top and one curling along the bottom — carry verses in Gothic blackletter script celebrating Oldenburg's colours, horse, and harvest. |
| Reverse lettering | HEIL DIR, O OLDENBURG! HEIL DEINEN FARBEN! GOTT SCHÜTZ DEIN EDLES ROSS, ER SEGNE DEINE GARBEN |
