| Obverse description | Orange and black Notgeld note with two armoured knights in period dress standing as lateral vignettes, each holding a lance and resting a hand upon a heraldic shield — the left bearing a chevron device, the right bearing a lion passant with floral charges. At centre, the large bold numeral '50' appears within a black rectangular frame, below which the denomination legend and issuer inscription are set in Gothic letterpress script. A serial number appears at lower left and the issuing authority designation at lower right, separated by a decorative interlaced ornament on a horizontally striped underprint band. |

| Reverse description | A woodcut-style vignette occupies the central field, showing Schaumberg Castle perched atop a steep rocky hill, rendered with fine cross-hatched linework against a dramatic cloudy sky on an orange ground. The composition is framed by two vertical orange panels bearing multi-line Gothic script inscriptions running parallel to the lateral borders, one on each side of the central image. |
