| Obverse description | Olive-green and black letterpress Notgeld note with a central landscape vignette by G. Hoffmann, rendered in a hand-drawn illustrative style, showing a cluster of thatched farmhouses and outbuildings set amid dense foliage along the Werra. The issuer's name arches across the top in Gothic script, with the denomination numeral '50' and 'Pfennig' at upper right. Narrow side panels carry small allegorical vignettes — a sun-face with children at left and a labouring figure at right — framed within a scalloped guilloche border; validity text, the mayor's manuscript facsimile signature, and a red serial number appear below the central vignette. |

The artist's signature 'G. Hoffmann' appears at lower left. A text band at the top carries the humorous regional proverb in Gothic script, while the caption 'Alt hessisches Haus' is set within a decorative scroll cartouche along the lower border. |
