| Obverse description | Light green notgeld on paper with a central vignette of three conifer trees set against a horizontally lined pink underprint, framed by elaborate baroque scroll ornaments in black letterpress. The issuer's name "Stadtgemeinde Auma" appears in Gothic blackletter script at the top, with the issue date "den 1. April 1921" flanking the central vignette. The denomination "5 Pfennige" is stated below in Gothic script alongside the word "Gutschein," with the numeral 5 within a dark oval medallion, and the facsimile signature of the municipal chairman Rögner at the foot. |

| Reverse description | A richly coloured pictorial vignette occupies the full upper portion of the reverse, portraying a forest scene with tall conifers framing a distant view of the town of Auma with its church tower and red-roofed buildings; a stream winds through the middle distance, while clusters of mushrooms grow at the base of the trees. To the right, a folkloric gnome in a red cap sits atop a large mushroom, inspecting a specimen in his hand. A text panel at the foot carries a three-line rhyming verse in Gothic script, with the denomination "5 Pf." repeated in green letterpress at lower left and lower right. |
