Obverse description Printed in black and orange on cream paper, the obverse carries a central vignette of the Kyffhäuser ruins atop a rocky hill overlooking a small town, rendered in an expressionist woodcut style and signed 'H.L. Braune' at lower right. The denomination '50' and 'Pfg.' appear at the upper left and right corners respectively, flanking the vignette, while a municipal coat of arms occupies the lower left and a shield inscribed 'Frankenhäuser Notgeld / Gültig bis 31. Juli 1921' the lower right. Below the vignette a Gothic-script commemorative text reads 'Zur Erinnerung an das 25jährige Bestehen des Kyffhäuser-Denkmals / Frankenhausen a. Kyffh. d. 19. Juni 1921', followed by three facsimile signatures of city council members beneath their respective titles, with the printer's imprint 'Perm. Barmeyer Berlin' at the lower right margin.
