| Obverse description | Horizontal format Notgeld in brown and green tones, with the town name BAD SOODEN A.D. WERRA rendered in Gothic script across a dark decorative header band. The central vignette presents the municipal coat of arms — a shield dated 1559 with crossed implements — flanked by symmetrical balance-scale vignettes and the numeral 50 in ornamental cartouches at each lateral margin. Two manuscript signatures appear below the arms, attributed to the municipal cashier (Die Gemeindekasse) on the left and the mayor (Der Bürgermeister) on the right, with the denomination FÜNFZIG PFENNIG inscribed in a decorative green and gold footer band. |

| Reverse description | Vertical format with a detailed polychrome vignette by Ernst Metz portraying the snow-covered townscape of Bad Sooden, with half-timbered houses in the foreground and the church tower with its distinctive onion dome rising behind them against a wintry hillside. The town's coat of arms appears in the upper left corner and a heraldic lion shield in the upper right, both set within a foliate Art Nouveau border frame. A serial number is printed in the lower right of the vignette, and a Gothic-script moral inscription occupies the lower panel. |
