| Obverse description | Central field bears a circular cartouche enclosing the bold inscription DURCH MAUL HALTEN arranged in three lines, a sardonic wartime motto meaning 'by keeping one's mouth shut.' The cartouche is adorned with scrollwork and foliate ornament in a naive hand-engraved style. Surrounding the central device, a raised circular legend reads K.BEZIRKSAMT WASSERBURG, separated by five-pointed star stops. The date 1917 appears at the base of the outer legend, flanked by star ornaments. The overall design is rendered in a flat, utilitarian relief characteristic of World War I German notgeld coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination numeral 50 is boldly struck in large raised figures occupying the central field, without a Pfennig designation alongside the numeral itself. A circular legend surrounds the central numeral, reading GILTIG BIS 6 MONAT NACH FRIEDENSSCHLUSS, meaning 'valid until 6 months after the conclusion of peace,' reflecting the emergency provisional nature of this notgeld issue. The legend is separated by a small star stop at the base. The field is otherwise plain, and the lettering is set in a simple upright Latin serif style consistent with wartime emergency coinage production. |
