| Obverse description | The obverse features the large numeral '50' prominently displayed in the center of the field, with the denomination legend 'PFENNIG' inscribed below in bold capital letters. The circular legend 'STADT THALE A. HARZ' runs along the upper periphery. The date '1921' appears at the base, flanked on both sides by decorative floral sprigs rendered in low relief. The overall design is functional and typographic, characteristic of German Notgeld emergency coinage of the early Weimar Republic period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a full-length standing male figure, bearded and curly-haired, rendered in a classical or mythological style consistent with Weimar-era Notgeld artistic conventions. The figure stands facing slightly to the right, adorned with a wreath or garland around the waist, and holds a staff or scepter in his right hand. To his left, a large stylized tree with sweeping branches dominates the background, while small floral and foliate ornaments appear in the right field. The composition fills the entire coin surface without a surrounding legend, lending the design an artistic, medallic quality. |
