| Obverse description | Central vignette of a panoramic townscape of Köben a.O. flanked by two ornate cartouches: the left cartouche contains an allegorical harvest scene, the right a pastoral scene with cattle, both supported by putti figures perched at the upper corners. Above the central vignette appears the municipal coat of arms with crossed keys. The denomination numerals '50' appear in bold at upper left and right, with the word 'Pfennig' in Gothic script across the top. The lower portion bears the issue text in Gothic letterpress, a circular Magistrat seal, two manuscript signatures, and the date '24. Dezember 1920'. |
