| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in a vibrant multicolour letterpress style on a dark ground header panel bearing the Gothic-script legend 'Notgeld der Stadt Naumburg a. Saale' and the issue date 'Ausgegeben i.J. 1920' at upper left, with a series letter 'G' at upper right. The central vignette comprises the municipal coat of arms — a red castle tower crossed with a sword — set within an ornate circular cartouche framed by scrolling acanthus foliage, flanked on each side by hexagonal denomination panels reading '50' surrounded by clusters of red cherries with green foliage, referencing the city's famous Kirschenfest (cherry festival). The lower portion carries a two-line redemption text in Gothic script over a serial number at lower left and two manuscript signatures for the Magistrat. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black, red, and olive-green letterpress. The central field is dominated by a large silhouette-style vignette on a black ground, rendered in a Scherenschnitt (paper-cut) artistic manner, showing a tall adult figure gesturing over a group of children holding hands — a scene evoking the Pied Piper legend or a festive folk narrative. Flanking the central scene are vertical decorative panels in olive-green with stylised Gothic architectural spire motifs. The lower portion carries a three-line Gothic-script quotation in red-bordered panels, with denomination numerals '50' and the abbreviation 'Pfg' in red at each corner. |
| Reverse lettering | 50 PFg "Kinder" sprach er, "ihr seid Kinder, unschuldvoll und keine Sünder" |
