| Obverse description | Central vignette presents a dramatic silhouette of the Quedlinburg skyline — dominated by the twin-towered collegiate church atop the castle hill — set against a radiant sunburst emanating from a circular '1000' cipher at the apex, rendered in bold graphic Art Nouveau style. Flanking the central panel are two vertical side columns, each bearing the denomination '50 PFENNIG' and the validity period 'GÜLTIG 22.-23. APRIL 1922' with a manuscript signature; lower corners carry a heraldic eagle vignette at left and the city arms at right, both on ochre grounds, with the year '922' and '1922' respectively. A decorative foliate scroll border surmounts the entire design, and the issuer legend 'JUBILÄUMSGUTSCHEIN DER STADT QUEDLINBURG ZUR TAUSENDJAHRFEIER' is set in bold letterpress across the lower register. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette reproduces a dramatic medieval battle scene after a composition by Otto Markus, rendered in fine black engraving on an uncoloured ground, illustrating the capture of the robber baron in 1337 within a vaulted interior crowded with armed figures. Two flanking vertical panels in green carry silhouetted standing figures — a soldier at left and a townsperson at right — set against a repeating circular guilloche underprint in green. The denomination '50 PF' appears in white-on-black letterpress at the upper corners of each side panel. |
