| Obverse description | Octagonal flan with a beaded outer rim encircling the entire face and a concentric inner beaded circle defining the central field, within which the bold numeral '50' is prominently struck in raised relief. The legend 'STÄDT. SPARKASSE WANSEN' arcs along the upper portion of the annular band between the two beaded borders, while 'RATHAUS' is inscribed along the lower arc, flanked on either side by small raised rosette ornaments. The overall design is austere and utilitarian, consistent with the emergency Notgeld coinage issued by German municipal savings institutions during the inflationary crisis of the early 1920s. |

| Reverse description | Octagonal flan with a beaded outer rim and a concentric inner beaded circle enclosing the central field, which bears the large numeral '50' in bold raised relief. The legend 'SPARMARKE' is inscribed along the upper arc of the annular band between the two beaded borders, while 'PFENNIG' runs along the lower arc; multiple small rosette ornaments are evenly distributed at intervals throughout the band on both sides, providing symmetrical decorative accents. The composition mirrors the obverse in layout and style, reflecting the standardised functional aesthetic of German municipal Notgeld emergency issues. |
