| Obverse description | Black-bordered note with a central woodcut-style vignette showing a group of period figures gathered before the partially ruined Wachsenburg fortress church, rendered in black on a pale ground. Flanking the central scene are two red-framed vertical panels, left bearing crossed weapons and a helmet, right bearing crossed pole arms and a shield. Red rectangular banners at top carry the denomination '50 Pfg.' at each corner and the title 'Gutschein der Veste Wachsenburg' in Gothic script at center; the lower margin contains three red panels with issuer name, a historical legend, and the validity date. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a polychrome architectural vignette framed by two red stone columns supporting a rounded arch, through which the Wachsenburg castle is seen rising above wooded hills under an open sky. Red shield-shaped panels at upper left and right each bear the numeral '50' in white, flanking the Gothic inscription 'Die Wachsenburg' at the arch apex. In the lower foreground, the heraldic shield of the Drei Gleichen district — a red and white lion on a divided field — is centered above a red banner bearing the legend 'Drei Gleichen in Thüringen' in Gothic lettering. |
