Obverse description Central allegorical vignette rendered in a two-colour letterpress design of black over an orange-brown underprint, showing a classically draped female figure blowing a long trumpet, flanked on either side by labouring male figures carrying heavy sacks, with an industrial townscape visible on the horizon behind her. The title legend 'GUTSCHEIN-DER STADT BITTERFELD' appears in bold Gothic blackletter type within a ruled panel at the top, while the denomination '50 PF' is set in large numerals at the lower left and right corners. A pale panel at the bottom centre carries the issue date, two manuscript facsimile signatures, a printed serial number in blue, and the validity notice, with the printer's imprint 'C. Schröter, Leipzig' below the outer frame.

Reverse description The reverse carries the principal text of the voucher in a straightforward typographic layout, repeating the essential legends of the obverse in a plain letterpress arrangement without an illustrative vignette, consistent with the emergency currency (Notgeld) printing conventions of the early 1920s.
