| Obverse description | A continuous pearl border frames the periphery of the coin. The circular legend reads 'AMTSKÖRPERSCHAFT' across the upper arc and 'NAGOLD 1918' along the lower arc, each segment separated by a raised dot stop. The large numeral '50', denoting the denomination in Pfennig, is prominently displayed in raised relief at the center of the field. |

| Reverse description | A continuous pearl border encircles the entire reverse field. The denomination numeral '50' is rendered in bold, large raised characters occupying the majority of the plain central field, with no additional inscription or ornament. The design is deliberately austere, characteristic of wartime German notgeld emergency coinage. |

| Additional information |
Nagold's 1918 zinc notgeld issue belongs to the enormous wave of emergency municipal coinage that flooded southern Germany as the Imperial war economy collapsed — metal shortages had stripped conventional coin production to near nothing, and local administrative bodies were legally authorized to fill the gap. Amtskörperschaft Nagold was a district-level administrative unit in Württemberg, and its issues are among the more obscure of the Baden-Württemberg notgeld series. Zinc was chosen not by preference but by elimination; copper and nickel had been requisitioned for armaments production years earlier.
