| Obverse description | The central vignette presents the municipal coat of arms of Eisenach — a haloed armoured saint holding a flag and a palm frond, with a shield bearing a red cross — set against a teal heraldic field, flanked by detailed pen-and-ink landscape vignettes of the Wartburg castle to the left and the Eisenach town skyline with its characteristic church towers to the right. The year '1521' is printed in large numerals across the middle register, referencing Luther's arrival at the Wartburg. The denomination 'Fünfzig Pfennig' appears in bold Gothic script in the lower left and right corners, with three handwritten signatures below the commemorative text, attributed to the Oberbürgermeister, Stadtrat u. Kämmerer, and Stadtrat u. Geh. Rat. |
