| Obverse description | The obverse is set against a light ground and organised symmetrically around the bold Gothic inscription 'Stadt Notgeld von Döbeln', with the denomination '50 Pfg.' repeated in the upper corners. Two armoured knights in full plate stand as lateral guardians, each flanking a large oval vignette — the left presenting the Neues Rathaus and the right the Nicolai-Kirche, both rendered in a fine illustrative style. The city's heraldic shield, bearing three towers, occupies the central axis below the ovals, accompanied by the issuance date 'Döbeln, 1. Sept. 1921', the validity clause 'Gültig bis 30. September 1921', and the facsimile signature of the Stadtrat. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into three vertical panels within a dark decorative border: the broad central panel, printed on a yellow ground, carries a polychrome illustrative scene of medieval figures gathered at a banquet table — one raising a goblet — captioned 'Planung von Kriebsteins Überfall' at the upper margin, with a panel number '3' at the base. The left ogival panel, in blue tones, presents a silhouette vignette of an armoured knight on horseback above infantry, labelled 'Mut' (Courage), while the right ogival panel shows a hilltop castle amid dense woodland, labelled 'Stolz' (Pride). |
