| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black and red on a cream ground, with a large central vignette illustrating the 1451 siege of Wachsenburg castle: a column of medieval soldiers bearing a red banner with a wheel device advances toward the hilltop fortress, with cannon and cannonballs in the foreground. Flanking the central scene are two narrow vertical panels — the left enclosing crossed weapons with a shield and helmet, the right a suit of armour with crossed swords — both rendered in red and black. Denomination tablets reading '50 Pfg.' appear at the upper corners, with the issuer and validity inscriptions arranged in red-bordered cartouches along the top and bottom margins. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black, red, and pale green, with a central vignette of Wachsenburg castle seen through a Romanesque arch supported by two red pillars, set against a wooded hillside with distant peaks. Below the arch, the shield of the Drei Gleichen district — a red and white lion rampant on a divided field — is displayed as a heraldic vignette. Denomination numerals '50' appear in red shield-shaped tablets at the upper left and right, with the title 'Die Wachsenburg' across the top and the legend 'Drei Gleichen in Thüringen' in a red banner along the lower margin. |
