The legend KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE, identifying the piece as a small-change substitute token, curves around the inner field within an annular rope-twist circle. The large numeral 50 occupies the center of the inner field, while three small five-pointed stars are evenly spaced along the lower arc between the rope circle and the pearl border. |

| Additional information |
C.G. Haubold Jr. was one of Saxony's major textile machinery manufacturers, and like hundreds of German industrial firms during the acute small-change shortage of 1917–1921, the company issued its own notgeld to pay workers when the Reichsbank could not supply sufficient coinage. Zinc was the only practical option — copper and nickel had been requisitioned for the war effort years earlier.
Firm-issued notgeld of this type rarely circulated beyond the factory gates and company store.
