| Obverse description | Orange and black notgeld printed in letterpress style, with the large numeral '50' in a bold blackletter typeface within a central cartouche, flanked by two armoured knights in profile — each bearing a heraldic shield and a lance — rendered in a woodcut-style vignette. The left knight carries a chequered coat of arms while the right displays a lion rampant device. Below the central vignette, the inscription reads 'Pfennig / Notgeld der Stadt Schalkau/Thür', with the validity date and serial number appearing in the lower margin alongside the issuing authority 'Bürgermeisteramt'. |
