| Beschrijving voorzijde | The upper left portion carries a landscape vignette of the Unstrut weir at Heineck's Mill (Das Stauwerk Heineck's Mühle), rendered in a linear illustrative style with trees and rippling water. To the lower left, a circular medallion vignette presents a standing saint in robes accompanied by a chalice, a church tower, and a lamb, with the dates 15 and 75 flanking the figure. The denomination '50 Pfs' is set in bold Gothic script to the right, beneath the issuer legend 'Münzer-Notgeld von Oldisleben a. Kyffh.', with the payment text and date 'd. 5. VIII. 1921' completing the lower register, accompanied by a manuscript signature of the Gemeindevorstand. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is dominated by a central arched vignette in warm ochre tones illustrating a historical scene of the execution of Müntzer's captured peasant followers before a half-timbered building, with soldiers, a mounted officer, and a crowd of figures rendered in a woodcut-inspired style. Flanking the arch, elaborate foliate and bird decorations in grey-blue fill the lateral borders, with a grotesque mask motif at the top centre. A cartouche at the foot of the vignette bears the caption identifying the scene, and the printer's imprint appears along the bottom margin. |

Oldisleben is a small Thuringian town on the Unstrut river, and like hundreds of similarly sized German municipalities in 1921, it turned to local printing to solve the Kleingeldmangel — the small-change shortage that plagued everyday commerce during the inflationary spiral following the First World War. Karl Naumburg in nearby Kindelbrück was a regional job printer, not a security press, and the reference suffix notation suggests multiple design variants were produced within a single short-run series.
Gemeindekasse issues of this type were redeemable only locally and had no legal tender status outside the issuing municipality.
