| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green, brown, and black on white paper, with a perforated border framing the design. The upper portion carries a central vignette of a horse-drawn timber wagon — a team of two dark draught horses pulling a heavily laden log cart along a forest road, attended by a coachman and a figure to the rear, set against a stylised woodland backdrop. The denomination numeral '50' appears in each upper corner, with the issuing authority inscription 'NOTGELD DER GEMEINDE' at the top; the lower panel bears the full legends 'FÜNFZIG PFENNIG', 'IGELSHIEB A/RENNSTEIG', the date '1. APRIL 1921', and the authority line 'DER GEMEINDEVORSTAND' with a facsimile signature, flanked by the denomination numeral '50' in each lower corner. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in blue and tan on a cream ground, with a perforated border. A central oval vignette presents a craftsman — a glassblower or glass-cutter — seated at a workbench and engaged in his trade, with tools and a glass vessel before him, rendered against a blue hatched background. The place name 'IGELSHIEB' arches across the top within a ribbon banner, and 'A/RENNSTEIG' is inscribed along the lower margin; two circular cartouches at left and right each bear the legend 'FÜNFZIG 50 PFENNIG', with the denomination numeral '50' repeated in all four corners. Two small figures pulling a rope are illustrated along the lower edge, and the printer's imprint 'AUG. HEINECKE, RUDOLSTADT.' appears at the lower right. |
