| Obverse description | Hexagonal zinc notgeld token with a continuous pearled border tracing the six-sided periphery. A circular legend reading MASCHINENBAU-A.-G. arcs across the upper field, flanked by two pellet stops, while HOFFMANN follows the lower arc. The central field bears a three-line raised inscription — vorm. / STARKE / & — identifying the issuing firm as the machine-building company formerly known as Starke & Hoffmann of Hirschberg. The overall design is utilitarian in character, consistent with German Notgeld token production of the World War I and early inflationary period. |

| Reverse description | Hexagonal reverse with a continuous pearled border following the six-sided periphery, mirroring the treatment of the obverse. The denomination numeral 50 is boldly struck in large raised figures dominating the plain, unadorned field, with no additional legend, unit designation, or ornamental device. The austere simplicity of the design is characteristic of zinc Notgeld tokens produced during Germany's wartime and early inflationary period, where functional legibility took precedence over decorative elaboration. |
