| Obverse description | The obverse carries bold Gothic-script lettering reading "Notgeld der Stadt Ehrenfriedersdorf" across the upper portion, with the denomination "50 Pf" set within a colour-block vignette of yellow and red at upper right, evoking the Saxon regional colours with spruce branches overlaid. To the lower left, a detailed vignette illustrates a display of pewterware — a decorative plate, jugs, and candlesticks — arranged on a wooden surface and framed by spruce boughs, referencing the town's historic tin-mining and pewter craft heritage. The lower section bears the issue date "1.8.1921", the place name "Ehrenfriedersdorf", validity text, and the manuscript signature of the Bürgermeister above the printed designation "Der Stadtrat". |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-width landscape vignette rendered in a naturalistic woodcut-style colour print, showing a forest scene of tall pine and spruce trees in silhouette against a warm pink and ochre sunset sky, with a distant panorama of the town of Ehrenfriedersdorf visible through the treeline. In the middle ground, two wild boars root in the undergrowth, a direct allusion to the local legend that tin ore deposits were first discovered by foraging swine. The denomination "50 Pf" appears in bold Gothic numerals at upper right, and the title "NOTGELD der Stadt Ehrenfriedersdorf." is set in a banner across the top within a light teal border. |
