| Obverse description | Dark-ground Notgeld note printed in black, orange, and red on cream paper, enclosed within a red border. The central vignette presents the circular municipal seal of Weißenfels — bearing the city arms with a rampant lion on an orange field above a church tower — surrounded by a decorative wreath of laurel and oak. To each side, a radiating sunburst medallion carries the denomination numeral '50' in red with 'PFG' below. The heading 'Notgeld der Stadt Weissenfels' arches across the top in ornate script, flanked by the issue year '1921' at left and 'a.d. Saale' at right. |

| Reverse description | Cream-ground reverse printed in black and red, with the central oval vignette of a cobbler at his workbench — a reference to Weißenfels's historic identity as a shoemaking city. Flanking the vignette are period boot illustrations dated '1520' (Stiefel) and '1580' (Kavalierstiefel), with denomination numerals '50' in red at each lower corner. At bottom, a small view of the Augustusburg palace is inset beneath two text panels bearing local verse, and the designer's signature 'K. Lüders' appears at lower right. |
