| Obverse description | Printed in dark olive-green on cream paper, the obverse is divided into three vertical panels. The left panel carries a vignette of a miner in working attire holding a tool, while the right panel shows a uniformed official or guard. The central section bears the town arms of Leopoldshall — a crowned shield with crossed hammers and a balance — flanked by two pairs of crossed mining hammers above the motto 'Glück auf!', below which a four-line verse in German script references the local potash and rock-salt mining industry. The lower portion contains the denomination '50 Pfg.' on either side of a boxed text panel stating the validity clause, the issuing authority 'Der Magistrat', the place and date 'Leopoldshall, den 25. Juli 1921', a manuscript facsimile signature, and a printed serial number, with the printer's imprint 'LOUIS KOCH, HALBERSTADT.' at the foot. |

| Obverse lettering | Glück auf! Hätten wir Kali nicht in den Schächten, fehls es an Korn und Früchten bald sehr; wenn wir das Steinsalz zu Tage nicht brächten blieb auf dem Tisch unser Salzfaß leer. Dieser Schein verliert seine Gültigkeit 3 Monate nach öffentlicher Ankündigung. Leopoldshall, den 25. Juli 1921. Der Magistrat 50 Pfg. LOUIS KOCH, HALBERSTADT. |
| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in the same dark olive-green on cream paper and carries a large central vignette of an underground mine gallery at depth, with two miners at work amid pit props and rail tracks, rendered in a detailed illustrative style. Flanking the central image on the left and right are inscriptions reading 'Kali- u. Steinsalzgewinnung' ('Potash and rock-salt extraction'), each side accompanied by a wheat-ear motif and a small lion device. The denomination '50 Pfg.' appears in the lower corners on both sides, and a caption beneath the mine scene reads 'Streckenbetrieb etwa 450 m unter Tage'. The header across the full width of the note reads 'Gutschein der Stadt Leopoldshall i. Anh.' |
