| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into a central vignette and two flanking denomination panels, all framed by an ornate gold and black border with decorative scrollwork. The central vignette renders a lively market scene on the Eisfeld town square, with townsfolk, merchants, horse-drawn wagons, and the church tower visible in the background, executed in a detailed polychrome lithographic style and signed by the artist. At bottom centre sits a red circular town seal bearing a heraldic lion, surrounded by acanthus leaf ornament, while the validity clause appears at lower left and the issuing authority's date and signature at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is set on a green tonal underprint with red and gold border ornament, bearing denomination numerals '50' in red at all four corners and octagonal 'Pfg' medallions flanked by decorative finial motifs on the left and right margins. The central vignette illustrates a rural tanning or peat-working scene with three labouring figures bent over their work before a wooden rack structure, with village rooftops visible in the background. A two-line Thuringian dialect verse in Gothic script runs across the top of the central panel, and a serial number cartouche is positioned at the bottom centre. |
