| Obverse description | The obverse is laid out within a double-ruled border with decorative asterisk corner ornaments and yellow-highlighted vertical rule accents. The issuing authority inscription "NOTGELD DER GEMEINDE KÖSTRITZ" appears in bold letterpress at the top, above a central composition of three circular vignettes: a left medallion enclosing a heron or stork in silhouette, a large central medallion with the numeral "50" over the denomination legend "PFENNIGE" and a small asterisk, and a right medallion containing a heraldic rampant lion, all rendered with yellow-green underprint highlights. Below, a two-line validity clause is set in spaced letterpress capitals. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a silhouette vignette executed in black letterpress, evoking an 18th-century genre scene: a gentleman in tricorn hat and coat converses with an elegantly dressed lady in a wide crinoline skirt, accompanied by a small child in feathered hat, two dogs, and a tall plant to the left, with a bird in flight to the upper right and yellow accent highlights on select elements. Denomination numerals "50 Pfg" appear in the upper left and upper right corners flanking the scene. A three-line verse is printed in letterpress at the top of the field, and a small monogram or printer's mark "P2i" is visible in the lower right of the vignette. |
