| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central vignette presents a detailed letterpress view of the Lauchstädt Rathaus (town hall) with a tall church steeple rising behind it, inscribed 'Rathaus' to the upper right; a circular municipal seal of the Magistrat Lauchstädt is set at the top centre. The ornamental border is composed of interlocking guilloche scrollwork in blue-grey and cream, with diamond cartouches at each corner bearing the denomination numeral '50' framed by the word 'PFENNIG', and the vertical inscriptions 'Gutschein' and 'der Stadt' flank the central vignette on left and right respectively. The town name 'Lauchstedt' is rendered in decorative Gothic script along the lower margin, with handwritten date '1919' and manuscript signatures above the seal. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central vignette presents a finely engraved panoramic view of the Bad Lauchstädt spa promenade as it appeared in the 18th century, with tall mature trees framing neoclassical spa buildings and period figures strolling in the foreground. The same decorative border scheme as the obverse is repeated, with blue-grey guilloche scrollwork, diamond corner cartouches each bearing the numeral '50' and 'PFENNIG', and a wave-scroll inner frame. The title 'Bad' appears in Gothic script at the top centre, and 'Lauchstedt' in matching decorative lettering runs along the lower margin, with a caption in small script identifying the scene as 'Heilquelle im 18. Jahrhundert'. |

Lauchstädt — properly Bad Lauchstädt — is a small spa town in Saxony-Anhalt whose main historical claim is the Goethe-Theater, built in 1802 and still standing. Whether that connection influenced the commission here is unknown, but hiring Adolf Forker's Leipzig firm with an engraver credit to F. Kirschmann suggests the Magistrat spent more than the bare minimum on what was, at bottom, a municipal emergency note covering the chronic small-denomination coin shortage of 1919.
Forker was a mid-tier Leipzig commercial printer active in the Notgeld trade across Saxony. Kirschmann's engraving credit on a piece this small is notable — most comparable Kleingeldscheine at this denomination skipped engraving entirely in favor of simple lithography.
