| Obverse description | The obverse is framed by a decorative border with blue Gothic trefoil and quatrefoil ornaments at the corners and Gothic architectural column motifs at the sides, each bearing the denomination '50 Pfg' in vertical lettering. The central vignette, set against a golden scrollwork cartouche with baroque acanthus flourishes, presents a standing medieval figure — likely a salt worker or local historical character — before a blue heraldic shield. The issuer's name 'Stadt Staßfurt.' appears in Gothic script across the top panel, and the validity clause 'Drei Monate nach Bekanntmachung Ungültig' is printed in a decorative script band at the foot, with the printer's imprint 'Druck · Himmer, Augsburg.' below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is enclosed within a matching Gothic decorative border with blue corner ornaments and arched niches at each side containing standing armoured medieval knight figures. The upper panel bears the Gothic text inscription referring to Otto IV with the Arrow, Margrave of Brandenburg. The central vignette, framed by a circular legend reading 'BRANDENBURGENSIS + SIGILL... ONIS DEI GRACIA MARCHIONIS', presents a round medieval seal with a mounted or standing armoured figure. Flanking text panels record the historical note 'Am 20. März 1278 vor Staßfurt verwundet', and the lower panel carries the date of issue 'Staßfurt, den 1. September 1921' with the issuing authority 'Der Magistrat' and manuscript signatures. |
