| Obverse description | Triptych composition in dark blue letterpress on pale paper, with the central panel bearing the heraldic coat of arms of Zerbst — a turreted castle gate with a lion and bear on the lower escutcheon — surrounded by an ornate wreath. The left panel contains a vignette of a medieval armoured knight standing beneath an arch amid foliate ornament, while the right panel mirrors the composition with a standing female figure. Below the central vignette, the denomination numeral '50' appears at upper left and right flanking the legend 'Gutschein', with a serial number, issue date 'Zerbst, den 1. Juli 1921', and a manuscript signature of the Magistrat printed at the foot. |
