Obverse description Central field features the large bold numeral '50' denoting the denomination, rendered in raised relief. A continuous circular legend reads 'STADTSPARKASSE' above and 'STREHLEN SCHLES.' below, separated by raised dot stops, all within a beaded border encircling the periphery. The design is stark and utilitarian, consistent with wartime Notgeld emergency coinage.

Obverse lettering STADTSPARKASSE 50 ● STREHLEN SCHLES ●
Reverse description Central motif depicts a heraldic shield bearing the town arms of Strehlen: a crenellated city gate with two flanking towers, a central arched portal with a figure in the archway, a crescent moon to the upper left, and a six-pointed star to the upper right, all on a horizontally lined field. The shield rests on a mound and is framed by a pointed heraldic border. The legend 'SPARMARKE 1918' arcs along the lower periphery in bold raised letters, with a beaded border running around the full coin edge. Note: this reverse die (Funck 351.4) belongs to Münsterberg and was incorrectly paired with the Strehlen obverse, constituting a documented stamp-coupling error.
