| Descripción del anverso |
The upper portion of the obverse carries a green ribbon banner bearing the legend 'VOM PFERDEHÄNDEL ZUR INDUSTRIESTADT', flanked below by two circular vignettes — a horse's head within a horseshoe wreath to the left and an industrial factory silhouette within a leafy wreath to the right — with a central heraldic shield depicting a twin-towered red church amid trees. The town name 'LINDENBERG IM ALLGÄU' is rendered in bold red gothic lettering across the centre. The lower panel, framed by a green guilloche border, contains the denomination numeral '50' in red at each corner, with the voucher text and validity condition printed in black, the date '1. September 1947' and the Bürgermeister's manuscript signature at the foot. |

| Descripción del reverso |
The reverse is composed in a bold woodcut-style design printed in black, red, and green on a beige ground. A large octagonal central vignette contains a standing haloed figure — likely a patron saint — atop a column, with the silhouette of a twin-domed church rising behind, all rendered in stark black and white contrast. Flanking the vignette on either side are hourglass-shaped ornamental panels, each enclosing a green four-petalled rosette in a diamond frame, with the denomination '50' above in red and 'Pfg' below in red gothic script. The inscriptions 'GUTSCHEIN' and 'LINDENBERG' appear in large black lettering above and below the central vignette respectively, and the designer's name 'BOGNER' is printed in the lower right margin. |

Postwar German notgeld from 1947 sits in an awkward category — not the classic inflation-era emergency money of the early 1920s, nor proper currency, but a local stopgap issued under Allied occupation when small-denomination coinage had effectively vanished from circulation. Lindenberg im Allgäu, a small town in the Bavarian Alps near the Austrian border, was in the French occupation zone, which created its own administrative complications for any locally authorized scrip.
The Bogner attribution is unusual — most small-town notgeld of this period went unattributed. Whether this refers to a local printer or a designer working directly for the Stadtverwaltung is not documented in the standard references.
