Obverse description Green-toned note with a bold Fraktur title 'Fünfzig Pfennig' across the upper portion. To the left, the coloured municipal coat of arms of Meiningen — a castle motif on a red shield — is set against the green ground, flanked by an ornamental scroll. A block of German text in the centre states the conditions of acceptance by the Stadtkämmerei and Sparkasse, with the issuance date 'Meiningen, 11. Juni 1921.' and a manuscript signature of the Magistrat below; a circular vignette of a gateway appears at lower right, and a red serial number is printed at lower left.

Reverse description The reverse carries two polychrome pictorial vignettes side by side, separated by the large numeral '50' and 'Pf.' in the centre. The left vignette illustrates a half-timbered inn 'Zur Gans' with a female figure in traditional dress, accompanied by verses from Rudolf Baumbach's poem 'Das Lied vom Hütos'; the right vignette shows a wine-garden scene 'Weingarten taler Schattensitz' with two figures, alongside further stanzas of the poem. The lower border carries the bold Fraktur inscription 'Notgeld der Stadt Meiningen', with the designer's name 'L. Graef' at lower left and the printer's credit 'Franz Scheiner Würzburg' at lower right.
