| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in brown and green on cream paper. A panoramic vignette of the Gotha cityscape in orange-brown occupies the lower half, with church spires and rooftops rendered in fine line engraving. Overlaid in large bold green letterpress is the denomination '50 Pfennige', while the upper portion carries a multi-line text in German Kurrent script stating the note's acceptance and validity conditions, with a large decorative green initial 'D' at upper left. The serial number appears at left, and the place and date 'Gotha, 15. Juli 1921' along with the issuing authority 'Der Stadtrat' and a facsimile signature of the Oberbürgermeister are printed in the lower right area. |
