| Obverse description | The central vignette, set against a dark background, presents a detailed line-art elevation of the Haus der Schiffergesellschaft's distinctive stepped-gable façade, founded in 1535. Flanking the central panel are two ochre-toned side fields bearing a swirling foliate underprint, each carrying the denomination numeral '50 Pf' in bold red lettering. Inscriptions at upper left and right give the expiry date and the designation 'Historische Gaststätte', while the lower border carries the proprietors' names within a ruled frame. |

| Reverse description | The central dark-ground panel carries a bold woodcut-style vignette of a full-rigged Hanseatic sailing vessel under sail on stylised waves. The left ochre side panel bears the arms of Lübeck — a double-headed eagle on a red and white shield — while the right panel carries a circular cartouche of the Schiffergesellschaft with crossed anchors, a crown, and the motto 'ALLEN ZU GEFALLEN IST UNMÖGLICH'. The foliate underprint repeats in both lateral fields, and the printer's imprint appears in italics along the lower margin. |
