Obverse description Mauve-toned notgeld printed on plain paper, with a dashed-line border framing the entire face. The issuer's name appears at the top in Gothic blackletter script, above the large bold legend 'GUTSCHEIN ÜBER'. A central coin-like vignette in tan and brown bears the numeral '50' in large figures, flanked by the words 'FÜNFZIG' and 'PFENNIG' in bold letterpress. Below the vignette, a manuscript signature above the title 'OBERBÜRGERMEISTER' appears to the left, while validity text restricting use to the city district of Plauen until 31 December 1919 is set to the right; a red serial number is printed along the bottom margin.

Reverse description Mauve-toned reverse with a rope-pattern rectangular border enclosing the design. Denomination numerals '50' appear in bold at the upper left and upper right corners. The central vignette, set within an oval cartouche, presents a detailed townscape of Plauen rendered in a linear illustrative style, with a prominent clock tower, a domed church, and surrounding civic buildings visible against a lightly striated sky.
