| Obverse description | Central field features a rectangular cartouche containing the heraldic lion of Schleiz, depicted passant and facing left, rendered in relief against a plain ground. Flanking the cartouche, the denomination numerals '50' appear to the left and 'Pf.' to the right. The date '1922' is inscribed above the cartouche. The circular legend 'STADT' arcs across the upper periphery and 'SCHLEIZ' across the lower periphery, separated by a small crossed-tools emblem at the base. The entire design is bordered by a beaded rim characteristic of molded porcelain Notgeld issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a left-facing draped bust of Johann Friedrich Böttger, the German alchemist and inventor of European hard-paste porcelain, set within a diamond-shaped frame formed by two crossed batons or rods, alluding to the Meissen porcelain tradition. The birth date elements '5. 2.' appear in the upper corners of the diamond and '1685' in the lower corners, together commemorating his birth on 5 February 1685. A small circular target motif surmounts the diamond at the apex, and a triangular device appears at the nadir. The circular legend 'JOHANN FRIEDRICH BÖTTGER' arcs around the upper periphery, with the surname continuing along the right side. The design is framed by a beaded outer rim. |
