| Obverse description | Central vignette within a diamond-shaped frame shows the Kickelhahn observation tower (erected 1855, south of Ilmenau) set among dense conifer forest, rendered in fine letterpress line engraving. Denomination numerals "50" in red appear in ornamental cartouches at left and right, with the word "Pfennig" below each. A repeating underprint pattern of triangles and denomination numerals covers the entire field, printed in pale ochre. The issuer's title "Notgeld der Stadt Ilmenau" runs across the top in Gothic script, with the date and Oberbürgermeister's facsimile signature at lower right. |

| Reverse description | Central vignette presents the municipal arms of Ilmenau — a heraldic shield flanked by twin towers with a decorative foliate crest — enclosed within a circular legend band, below which a pair of hiking boots is rendered in a vignette alluding to the town's reputation as a resort. Denomination "50" in red appears within concentric guilloche rosettes at left and right, and "Fünfzig Pfennig" in Gothic script occupies each corner panel. The background carries a light floral underprint in orange-brown, and the serial number is printed in a rectangular panel at the foot of the central frame. |
