| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, the large numeral '50' occupies the central field, with the denomination legend 'PFENNIG' inscribed below in bold relief. A circular peripheral legend reading 'BAD BLANKENBURG THÜRINGER WALD' runs along the upper arc, with the date '1921' and a five-pointed star appearing along the lower arc. The overall design is plain and typographic in character, consistent with the utilitarian Notgeld coinage of the Weimar-era inflation period. |

| Reverse description | A bold, high-relief portrait bust of Friedrich Fröbel, the German educator and inventor of the kindergarten, facing slightly to the viewer's right and filling most of the coin's field. The subject is depicted in early 19th-century civilian dress with a high collar and cravat, his hair swept back in a naturalistic style. The inscription 'FRIEDRICH FRÖBEL' curves along the lower portion of the field in raised Latin letters. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |
