A small rectangular vignette at the lower centre shows a distant view of Leuchtenburg castle on its hilltop.

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Single-colour letterpress design printed in sepia-brown on cream paper, enclosed within a decorative border of oak leaves and hop cones. A large circular central vignette presents a photographic-style view of the Ehrenburg castle tower at Plaue, set amid conifers, with a small heraldic lion shield at the base of the roundel. To the left, the denomination '50 Pfennig' is rendered in ornate Gothic script; to the right, the castle's name 'Die Ehrenburg Plaue' appears above a historical note referencing Count Günther von Schwarzburg, 1349. Series and group designations 'Serie III' and 'Gruppe D' are placed in cartouches at the upper corners, and the printer's imprint 'J. P. Himmer Augsburg' is set in a ruled box at the foot of the note. |

Kahla's third Leuchtenburg issue is one of a cluster of Thuringian notgeld series that used local castle imagery as a vehicle for what amounted to collector-driven printing — by 1921, municipalities knew full well that most of these small-denomination pieces would never see a cash register. The Ehrenburg at Plaue, a Renaissance palace on the Regnitz, is a reasonable geographic stretch for a Kahla issue, which sits some distance away in the Saale valley.
J. P. Himmer in Augsburg printed a substantial volume of notgeld for various German municipalities during this period. The watermarked paper is one of the few concessions to genuine currency practice in a series that was largely a philatelic enterprise from the outset.
