| Obverse description | The obverse is set within a red ruled border and carries the title inscription "Notgeld" in large Gothic lettering across the top. The denomination "50 Pfg" appears in bold red and green numerals and letters at left and right, flanking a central polychrome quartered heraldic shield: upper-left quarter black with two crossed swords on gold, upper-right quarter red bearing a white cartwheel, and the lower half blue with a rampant white lion. Below the shield, the issuing authority and date are given in two lines, with a manuscript signature to the right, followed by the validity and redemption clauses in Gothic script at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a full-colour vignette of the historic town gate tower of Treffurt an der Werra, rendered in a painterly illustrative style and signed by the artist "K. Lindgreen" in the lower right of the image. The multi-storey grey stone tower with a domed cupola rises above flanking half-timbered and rendered buildings, with clipped linden trees in the foreground against a cloud-filled blue sky. Denomination numerals "50" appear in the upper corners within ruled panels, and the place name is inscribed in Gothic lettering along the lower border, with the printer's imprint below. |
