| Obverse description | The obverse is framed by two medieval city gate towers rendered in black and pink letterpress, each bearing an oval cartouche with the denomination '1/2 Mark' at left and right. The upper portion carries the issuing authority legend in bold Gothic blackletter script, beneath which a multi-line text in red script sets out the redemption conditions, dated 1. Juni 1921 and signed by Der Stadtrat. A panoramic silhouette vignette of the Glauchau skyline occupies the lower centre, overlaid by an oval inset showing a textile worker at a loom — a reference to the town's weaving industry — with a serial number printed below and the printer's imprint along the lower left margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is bordered by an ornate pink and grey scroll-and-ribbon frame with stylised animal-head corner motifs in the Jugendstil manner, with the denomination '1/2 Mark' repeated in scroll cartouches at each corner. A large central rectangular vignette, printed in deep black on an unprinted ground, presents a silhouette scene of a jubilant crowd with arms raised before a church steeple, beneath a radiant sun breaking through clouds — an allegorical image of peace or liberation. A Gothic blackletter couplet is inscribed above and below the central vignette, with the series number '6' printed at the bottom centre of the vignette. |
