| Obverse description | The upper portion carries a panoramic cityscape vignette of Neustadt as recorded by Merian in 1650, captioned 'Neustadt 1650 / nach Merian.' in script lettering at upper right. The central field is divided into three panels: the left panel bears the guild inscription 'Tucher' above crossed cloth-shears on a dark ground; the centre panel presents the town arms — a golden twin-towered gate surmounted by a cross, set within an ornamental foliate surround — flanked by the denomination numeral '50 Pf' in large blackletter on olive panels at either side; the right panel carries the inscription 'Gerber' above two rampant lions flanking a tanning vat. The lower text panel gives the issuing authority, validity clause, date 'Neustadt / 1.9.21', and the facsimile signature of Bürgermeister Gerhard, with the printer's imprint 'Druck: Johannes Arndt-Jena' at foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a full-colour lithographic vignette in an Expressionist-influenced style, signed 'Kötschau' at upper right, illustrating the entry of the Saxon banner into Neustadt in 1315 ('Einzug des Sächs. Banners 1315'). A woman in a long grey dress stands in the left foreground, her back to the viewer, extending a garland of flowers toward a procession winding through the town below, with the church tower and rooftops of Neustadt rendered in warm ochre and red tones beyond. The lower border carries a green and black panel with the denomination '50' at each corner and the central inscription 'Notgeld der Stadt Neustadt / Orla' in bold blackletter, with the printer's imprint 'Druck von Johannes Arndt, Jena' at foot. |
