| Obverse description | Outer pearl border encircles the entire face, with the legend 'D.T.S. 50 ★ WERKE KRAUSCHWITZ ★' arranged peripherally between the border and an inner raised pearl circle. Within the central field, the large denomination numeral '50' is prominently displayed in relief. Two five-pointed stars flank the issuer's initials 'D.T.S.' at the top of the legend, lending a functional yet decorative quality typical of German industrial notgeld tokens. |

| Additional information |
D.T.S. Werke Krauschwitz issued zinc notgeld tokens of this type during World War I, when the imperial German government requisitioned copper and nickel for war production, forcing municipalities and private enterprises to produce their own emergency coinage. Factory-issued pieces like this one were typically redeemable only at company facilities — a closed circulation that kept metal losses contained and ensured workers spent scrip where the employer intended.
