| Obverse description | Brown letterpress note with a dark solid panel at left bearing the town name 'OELS' at top and the denomination numeral '50' at bottom, enclosing a circular vignette of the Oels municipal coat of arms with an eagle. The right two-thirds of the note carry a fine guilloche underprint over which the text 'Gutschein für Fünfzig Pfennig' is set in bold blackletter script, followed by validity and issuer inscriptions and two manuscript signatures. A decorative border of interlocking ornamental bands frames the entire note, with the printer's imprint of Grass, Barth & Comp. (W. Friedrich), Breslau along the lower edge. |

| Reverse description | Plain reverse printed in brown on a fine lattice guilloche background covering the entire surface. A large, elaborately engine-turned central rosette medallion, composed of three interlocking circular guilloche elements, occupies the centre of the note. The denomination numeral '50' is repeated in bold type at each of the four corners, with the upper right and lower left examples inverted, a typical Notgeld anti-counterfeiting layout. |
