| Obverse description | Green and red letterpress Notgeld note with a red outer border framing the entire design. The central vignette presents the municipal coat of arms of Buttstädt — a red heraldic shield dated 1637 — with an angelic allegorical figure holding a sword and scales of justice, flanked by a lion and a fleur-de-lis at the base. The denomination '50' appears in large white numerals on both the left and right flanks, each preceded by the abbreviation 'PF-', with architectural pillar motifs at the outer edges; the title 'Notgeld der Stadt Buttstädt' is set in bold black Fraktur script along the upper margin, and a scroll cartouche in the lower left bears the validity clause in cursive script alongside two manuscript facsimile signatures. |
