| Obverse description | Teal and dark brown Notgeld note with the town name 'Lichtenstein-Callnberg' in ornate Gothic blackletter script across the upper field, flanked at upper corners by two small dark vignettes of pithead winding towers. Denomination medallions of '50 Pfg' appear at left and right centre, with the body text in Gothic script setting out the validity conditions and issue date of 1. April 1921. A lower panoramic vignette in silhouette style shows a mining industrial scene with a worker, colliery headframe, and ore wagon, reflecting the town's coal-mining heritage. |

| Reverse description | Teal and dark brown reverse with a large central rectangular vignette in silhouette style set against a light background, depicting two figures — a dog rearing up and a man in a top hat — in a comic nocturnal street scene with a chicken at their feet; a full moon and rooftops with bats appear in the background. The denomination '50 Pfg' is repeated in large Gothic numerals flanking the central vignette on both sides. A banner scroll at the top carries the humorous local dialect phrase, and a second inscription band runs along the lower border. |
