| Obverse description | Typographically composed note printed entirely in black on cream paper with a fine guilloche underprint. The central text in ornate Fraktur script reads "Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft 50 Pfennig Glauchau-Stollberg vom deutschen Schutzbund", with the header inscription "Spende für Oberschlesien" in a decorative arch at top. The series designation "SERIE: I" appears at lower left, flanked by the serial number at lower right; the printer's imprint runs vertically along the left margin and the legal protection notice "Gesetzl. geschützt Nr. 56,226" along the right margin. |

| Reverse description | Expressionist woodcut-style vignette printed in black with orange-red accent lines on white paper, signed in the lower centre by the artist A. Püschel. The design is divided by a diagonal border post into two contrasting zones: to the left, an industrial Silesian landscape with factory chimneys and mine headframes under an open sky, with a solitary stooping figure in the foreground; to the right, a crowd of figures pressed against a hillside. Two ribbon banderoles bearing the inscriptions "Abstimmungszettel" and "Volksabstimmung / Stimmung" cross the composition diagonally, alluding to the Upper Silesia plebiscite of 1921. |

| Comments |
The Deutscher Schutzbund was a nationalist consumer and economic defense organization active in Weimar-era Germany, and its local chapters occasionally issued emergency scrip — Notgeld — to facilitate member transactions during the inflationary chaos of the early 1920s. The Glauchau-Stollberg branch is among the more obscure issuers in the Saxon notgeld record; the Rats-Druckerei R. Dulce was a municipal print shop, which suggests the local authority at least tacitly sanctioned production.
Dulce's output for this series was functional rather than elaborate — a deliberate contrast to the ornate collector-oriented notgeld flooding Germany at the same moment.
