| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in deep red and dark green on a buff paper ground. Large Gothic Fraktur lettering at top reads the issuer name, with the denomination numeral '50' and abbreviation 'Pf' rendered in bold red display script flanking a central heraldic shield vignette enclosed in a laurel wreath. Below, a panoramic landscape vignette in dark ink presents a bird's-eye townscape of Großbreitenbach set among rolling Thuringian hills. A two-line validity clause in Gothic script runs along the lower margin, with manuscript signatures of the Magistrat and Gemeinderat below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a multicolour letterpress composition in brown, green, and red tones on buff paper, divided into four vignette panels illustrating stages of the local porcelain industry: a thrower at the wheel, a worker arranging wares on shelves, a kiln-tender stoking a furnace arch, and a decorator painting finished pieces. At centre, a large oval cartouche in green encloses the denomination '50 Pf' in Gothic numerals, surmounted by a small medallion with a ceramic vessel motif. A scrolling ribbon banner below the oval bears the inscriptions 'Großbreitenbach i. Th.' and 'Porzellanindustrie', with the printer's imprint and designer's name 'P. Neu' in the lower corners. |
