| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark green and red on cream paper and carries an elaborate artistic composition: full-length figures of Gotthard the Abbot (left, in episcopal vestments with crozier and halo) and Ernst the Pious (right, in period robes holding a book) flank a central oval cartouche supported by putti amid baroque scrollwork, enclosing a green vignette of a Renaissance civic building. The denomination '50 Pfennige' appears in large red Fraktur script across the centre, interleaved with a four-line rhyming verse in Gothic blackletter. The designer's name 'F. Roby' is inscribed in the lower margin. |
| Reverse lettering | Von Gotthard dem Abt und Ernst dem Frommen Ist Gotha einstmals viel Gutes gekommen Auch sie kannten Not und sie kannten auch 50 Pfennige Geld Aber Notgeld haben sie niemals bestellt. |
