| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Central oval vignette presents a panoramic landscape view of Lehesten town set against rolling Thuringian Forest hills, rendered in fine letterpress engraving. Denomination cartouches reading '50 Pfennig' occupy the upper left and right corners against dark backgrounds with red-outlined numerals, flanked by a diamond-pattern border running the full perimeter. Below the vignette, two heraldic shields — one bearing a conifer tree, the other a miner's crossed hammer and pick — frame the issuing text panel, with a serial number printed in a pale green guilloche underprint and the facsimile signature of the Bürgermeister above it. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The central vignette presents a finely engraved illustration of a historic Rennsteig boundary stone standing amid a Thuringian Forest woodland, the carved stone bearing numerals and heraldic motifs. An amber-toned text panel at the top carries a verse inscription, while the lower amber panel bears the legend 'gebiet der wettiner' in a bold gothic typeface. The upper left corner holds a circular medallion with the Thüringerwald-Verein emblem, and the lower left bears a decorative round seal dated 1895; the whole composition is enclosed within the same diamond-pattern border used on the obverse. |

| Anmerkungen |
Lehesten is a small quarrying town in the Thuringian Slate Mountains, historically dependent on roofing slate extraction — an industry that kept a tight, insular local economy running well into the twentieth century. This note is Notgeld, issued during the acute small-change shortage that followed Germany's post-war inflation spiral, when municipalities across the country were effectively forced to print their own fractional currency because Reichsmark coinage had been hoarded or melted.
Merzdorf & Frosch in nearby Saalfeld produced a large volume of Thuringian municipal Notgeld during this period, making them a regional workhorse printer rather than a prestige house. The single Obenaus signature belongs to a local official, almost certainly the Bürgermeister or a designated treasury signatory.
