| Obverse description | The obverse features the municipal coat of arms of Thale am Harz centrally placed in the field, displaying a detailed heraldic shield surmounted by a helmet and crest with flanking mantling. The denomination '20' appears to the left and 'MK' to the right of the arms, while the legend 'THALE AM HARZ' arcs along the upper periphery and the date '1918' with flanking pellets appears along the lower periphery. The design is executed in bold relief without a formal pearl border, the flat field serving as a plain ground for the central armorial device. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic figure of a witch in high relief, depicted in a crouching, wind-swept posture with flowing hair and a broom visible to her right side, evoking the Walpurgis Night folklore associated with the Harz region. The figure is entirely enclosed within a large horseshoe frame oriented with the opening at the bottom, its inner edge decorated with rectangular notches. No legend or inscription appears on this side; the design relies entirely on the mythological imagery as an allusion to the Hexentanzplatz near Thale. |
