| Obverse description | Central field bears the large numeral '2' above the denomination legend 'MARK' and the date '1921', all in raised relief against the smooth white porcelain surface. The circular legend 'STADT BITTERFELD' arcs along the upper periphery in bold raised Latin capitals. The design is characteristically plain, emphasizing legibility consistent with German notgeld porcelain coinage of the early Weimar inflation period. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts a crenellated tower, representing the Bitterfeld municipal arms, flanked on either side by a heraldic shield in low relief. Above the tower, three stylized lightning bolts or rays radiate outward, interspersed with four small six-pointed stars, alluding to Bitterfeld's chemical and electrical industrial heritage. The entire composition is encircled by a wreath of laurel or grain, with concentric milled border rings framing the field. The reverse is entirely unlettered, with all design elements rendered in the characteristic raised matte-white glazed porcelain typical of Meissen or similar German porcelain notgeld issues. |
