| Obverse description | Red-bordered Notgeld note with a central vignette in olive-green tones showing two soldiers in uniform — a senior NCO pointing instructively at a younger recruit — set against a barracks building and a bare tree with berries. Flanking text panels in Gothic blackletter script carry a period verse referencing the care required in rifle-stock manufacture, with the denomination value of 50 Pfennig printed in a red cartouche at the lower centre. The issuance inscription reads 'Sömmerda, den 1. August 21' with the Magistrat's facsimile signatures at the lower right, and the printer's imprint 'Wilhelm Adam & Co Nerchau i.S.' along the bottom margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into three vertical panels on a red-bordered ground. The left panel carries a detailed line-art vignette of the Sömmerda Rathaus (town hall) with a figure at a well beneath a bare tree, captioned 'Rathaus'. The right panel shows the medieval Wenigensömmersches Tor (gate tower) with a crouching figure in the foreground, captioned 'Wenigensömmershes Tor'. The central panel, set on an olive-green ground, bears the city's heraldic eagle above a cartouche with a spoked wheel within a laurel wreath, above a six-line Gothic blackletter verse. The printer's imprint 'Alfred Hanf-Erfurt.' appears along the lower margin. |
| Reverse lettering | Rathaus Wenigensömmershes Tor. Ein friedlich Mal, doch Zeuge auch von Streit: Ein Mahner sei für rechte Einigkeit. Das rote Hürlein fiel als Tor; Als Bild nur findet man's noch vor. Alfred Hanf-Erfurt. |
