Obverse description Orange-bordered Notgeld on a green guilloche underprint field with interlocking decorative border elements at each corner. The denomination numeral '50' appears in all four corners, with the central text in German blackletter script reading 'Fünfzig Pfennig' followed by the issuing authority 'Gutschein der Gemeinde Stadtlengsfeld' and the date 'den 1. September 1921'. At centre, the oval municipal seal of Stadtlengsfeld is flanked by two manuscript signatures above the serial number, with the printer's imprint 'H. Stürtz A.G. Würzburg' in the lower right margin.

Reverse description The reverse carries a colourful oval vignette set against a warm ochre background with sinuous scrollwork borders in dark green. The central scene illustrates a shepherd in traditional dress holding a large ornamental key and a flowering plant, accompanied by a reclining dog, with a flock of sheep grazing in a pastoral landscape of trees and rolling hills beyond. A two-part inscription in blackletter script frames the vignette: the upper arc reads 'Die Wunderblume am Baier stand,' and the lower arc continues 'wo sie vorzeiten ein Schäfer fand.'
Reverse lettering Die Wunderblume am Baier stand,
