| Obverse description | Yellow and dark brown Notgeld note with a dense geometric guilloche underprint of interlocking circles and star motifs filling the central field. Two diagonal ribbon banners bearing the legend UNIVERSITATS-STADT JENA cross the centre, flanking the large numeral 50 PF.; the city arms — a crowned figure on an eagle displayed — appear in vignette form at both left and right within a dark decorative border of yellow cross-hatched lozenges and stars. Issue date and facsimile signatures of the Oberbürgermeister and Gemeinderat Vorsitzender appear at the lower centre, with the printer's imprint Ant. Kämpfe Jena below the frame. |

| Reverse description | A multicolour landscape vignette in an expressionist woodcut style renders the Fuchsturm — the medieval watch-tower of Jena — atop a wooded rocky hill under a pale pink sky. The denomination 50 PF. appears in large bold numerals at the upper left, and a scroll banner at upper right bears the identification FUCHSTURM / JENA. The composition is printed in dark olive-green, grey-blue, yellow, and pink tones without a ruled border, giving the design a painterly, artistic character typical of quality Thuringian Notgeld issues. |
