| Obverse description | The obverse is laid out in three horizontal panels across the upper portion: a rural vignette of a farmer ploughing fields with oxen at left, a central oval medallion on a pink guilloche ground showing a standing allegorical female figure holding a cross-staff and resting her hand on a heraldic shield, and an industrial landscape vignette with factory buildings and a smoking chimney at right. The lower register bears the denomination numeral '50 Pfennig' in large bold type flanking a central text panel with the note's validity clause, issue date 'Stadtlengsfeld, 1 März 1919', the authority line 'Der Gemeindevorstand', a serial number prefixed 'Nro:' and a manuscript signature reading 'Schilbach'. The issuer name 'Gemeinde Stadtlengsfeld' appears in large Gothic lettering across the top. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in warm brown tones on a fine guilloche underprint. A large central vignette, framed by an arch of intertwined laurel branches, presents a perspective view of the war memorial ('Das Kriegsmal für Stadtlengsfeld') — a domed rotunda inscribed 'Unsern Gr. Helden' set along a formal pathway flanked by trimmed hedges, with a dense conifer forest as backdrop. Flanking the central vignette on left and right are circular municipal seal medallions reading 'Siegel der Stadtgemeinde Stadtlengsfeld', each bearing the same allegorical female figure as the obverse. The denomination numeral '50' appears in all four corners, with the motto 'Das ist die Zeit der grossen Not' across the top and 'Hilf dir selbst, dann hilft dir Gott.' along the bottom. |
