| Obverse description | Central field bears the large numeral '50' in bold raised characters, with the denomination abbreviation 'PF.' inscribed immediately below. The legend 'STADT GOTHA' runs along the upper periphery in widely spaced capital letters. At the base of the design, a stylized ear of wheat or grain spray extends horizontally across the lower field, accompanied by a small decorative lozenge or cross motif at the bottom. The overall design is rendered in low relief on the brown porcelain surface, characteristic of German notgeld emergency coinage of the early Weimar period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a prominent eight-pointed star rendered in geometric, angular relief, occupying the majority of the central field, with a small square or diamond device at its center. The legend 'QUÄKER-DANK' is inscribed along the upper periphery in spaced capital letters, separated by dot stops, referencing the Quaker relief efforts in post-World War I Germany. The date '1921' appears along the lower periphery, also flanked by dot stops. The stark, modernist geometric design is typical of Weimar-era notgeld artistic production. |
