A serial number panel in red occupies the upper centre, flanked by the caption 'Nr.' in black. The central text block, set in Fraktur script, states the redemption obligation of the Handelskammer in Harburg a.d. Elbe, with the denomination '50 Pfennig' in large display type at mid-field. Below, a validity clause warns that the Gutschein expires if not redeemed by 1 October 1920, followed by the issuer inscription 'DIE HANDELSKAMMER HARBURG a/E.' and a manuscript signature. |

| Reverse description | Printed in orange with black line-work on a white ground, the reverse centres on an oval vignette enclosed by decorative foliate borders, showing a steam vessel moored at the Harburg harbour with industrial cranes and port facilities in the background, rendered in a precise woodcut-style illustrative technique. The denomination '50' appears in large Gothic numerals at each of the four corners, with the title 'Gutschein über 50 Pfennig' arching across the upper portion of the note. At the lower centre, within a cartouche, the issuer inscription 'DIE HANDELSKAMMER HARBURG (ELBE)' is printed in bold upright lettering. |
