| Obverse description | The upper register carries a panoramic cityscape vignette of Neustadt as recorded by Merian in 1650, captioned "Neustadt 1650 / nach Merian." The central field is divided into three panels: the left panel bears the legend "Tucher" above crossed shears and a bolt of cloth, the middle panel presents the municipal coat of arms — a golden twin-towered gate with a lion passant below, set within a foliate surround — and the right panel carries the legend "Gerber" above two rampant lions flanking a tanning vat and post. The lower register bears the denomination "50 Pf" in large numerals at each corner, the issuing authority "Neustadt an der Orla," validity text, date "Neustadt / 1.9.21," and the manuscript signature of Bürgermeister Gerhard, with the printer's imprint "Druck: Johannes Arndt, Jena" below the frame. |

| Reverse description | The entire face is occupied by a colourful lithographic genre vignette of a street scene in Neustadt around 1800, captioned "Aus der Zeit um 1800" at upper left and "Kötschau" at upper right; a group of young women in period costume dance in a ring before a yellow rendered round-towered gatehouse, with red-roofed townhouses and foliage completing the background. The lower panel, printed in dark ink on a green ground, carries the denomination "50" at each corner flanking the central inscription "Notgeld der Stadt Neustadt / Orla." The printer's imprint "Druck von Johannes Arndt, Jena." appears beneath the lower frame. |
