| Obverse description | The central vignette presents a detailed woodcut-style illustration of Paulinzella Monastery set against a radiating sunburst in orange and red, with the large Gothic blackletter denomination '50 Pf' printed below in black. Two ecclesiastical figures in red vestments, each holding a crozier and a book, flank the central image within blue-grey panels. Inscriptions appear along the upper border, above the denomination panel reading 'Paulinzellner Notgeld / Gültig bis zum 31. März 1922 / der Gemeindevorstand' with a facsimile signature, and along the lower border a poetic quotation attributed to G. C. Stoltz. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a full-colour woodcut-style vignette signed 'Römhau' at upper centre, rendering a view through the Romanesque ruins of Paulinzella Monastery, with stone arches and pillars framing the apse of the ruined church beyond, surrounded by autumnal foliage in vivid yellows and oranges against a pale sky. A yellow banner at the foot bears the denomination numerals '50' at each side flanking the Gothic blackletter text 'Notgeld der Gemeinde Paulinzella'. The printer's imprint appears below the lower border in small Roman type. |
