| Obverse description | Pink-tinted note printed in black letterpress with a decorative geometric border composed of ruled lines, corner ornaments, and small circular motifs at the cardinal points. A green four-leaf clover underprint occupies the central field, over which bold Gothic script reads the denomination '1/2 Mark' and the issuing authority 'Gemeinde Oberdorla (Vogtei)'. A circular violet official validation stamp is applied to the lower left, and the heading 'Kriegs-Notgeld.' appears at the top in blackletter type. |

| Reverse description | Pink-tinted reverse enclosed within a richly ornate black letterpress border of repeating folk-art motifs including paisley and floral elements arranged in continuous bands. The central field carries eight lines of blackletter verse in German, praising the Vogtei district and referencing the local issue of emergency currency in green, black, and red, signed with the initials 'H. E.' at the lower right. |
| Reverse lettering | Unstreitig schön ist die Vogtei, wozu man zählt der Dörfer drei; nur war es hier auch schlecht bestellt, um das begehrte kleine Geld. – Schnell half man selbst sich aus der Not und preßte Scheine grün, schwarz, rot. – Seit dieser Zeit weiß jedes Kind, wie praktisch die Vogteier sind. H. E. |
