| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black and dark red on cream paper, framed by a vignette of two medieval town gate towers with arched doorways at left and right. The header carries the issuer's name in Gothic blackletter script, surmounted by a battlemented parapet. Oval cartouches on each tower bear the denomination "1/2 Mark"; the central field contains the redemption text in red Gothic script, below which a silhouette panorama of the Glauchau skyline overlooks an oval industrial vignette showing a textile worker at a loom, with the serial number and a small city arms at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black and red on cream paper with a decorative border of interlaced ribbon scrollwork incorporating stylised mice at the corners. At upper centre, a quote in Gothic blackletter script arches across the top; a large central rectangular vignette presents a bold silhouette scene in the Expressionist paper-cut style, showing two giant folk-tale figures flanking a church steeple, with smaller figures below. A second quotation in Gothic script runs along the lower margin, and the denomination "1/2" appears in the upper corners. |
