At upper left and right, cartouches identify 'Serie III' and 'Gruppe E'.

The denomination '50 Pfennig' appears in Gothic script to the left of the vignette, flanked by the inscription 'Thüringer Burgen Schwarzburg'; below the vignette, a four-line verse in Gothic type reads 'Ja, ein tiefes Sehnen füllet / Mir das Herz, gedenk ich dein, / Traute Stätte, waldumhüllet, / Schwarzburg, heller Edelstein!' The printer's imprint 'J. P. Himmer Augsburg' appears in a small cartouche at the bottom centre. |
