| Reverse description | Plain yellow ground with a black-ruled outer border, largely unprinted save for a faint central vignette motif and the repeated monogram 'MV...KV' in large letters as an underprint. The denomination '50 fillér' appears at upper right, and the same Hungarian acceptance text is repeated in a central text block, with 'ötven fillér' in bold letterpress and the closing line 'értékben elfogadtatik' beneath. |

| Comments |
Hungarian municipal emergency currency from the postwar inflationary chaos that followed the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian crown system. Miskolc, as a major industrial city in northeastern Hungary, was among dozens of municipalities forced to issue their own subsidiary denominations in 1920 when small-change coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply devalued into irrelevance. The issuing body here is not the city treasury directly but the municipal public catering enterprise, reflecting how the acute shortage forced quasi-commercial civic bodies to step in alongside formal authorities.
Local printing in Miskolc keeps this squarely in the category of provincial emergency scrip rather than centrally coordinated issue.
