| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dark green underprint covers the entire field, within which a large cartouche encloses a two-register vignette: the upper register shows a panoramic riverside view of the Dömitz fortress and town from across the Elbe with steamboats and barges on the water, while the lower register presents a couple seated on the riverbank in period costume, the woman knitting and the man fishing, with a paddlesteamer visible mid-river. A lower panel carries the denomination '50 Pfg' in a central orange-tinted box flanked by ribbon banners with the Reuter currency inscription and town name in Gothic script. The designer's name 'Richard Zscheked' appears at the base of the central panel. |

| Opmerkingen |
Dömitz is a small river town on the Elbe in Mecklenburg, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921 it issued its own Notgeld to compensate for the chronic small-change shortage that followed the war. The designer credit — Richard Zschcked — is unusual enough to suggest a locally commissioned artist rather than one of the larger Leipzig or Berlin printing houses that supplied generic Notgeld to dozens of towns simultaneously. Whether Zschcked was a local resident or a regional commercial artist is not presently documented.
The 1921 Notgeld wave was driven partly by speculation: collectors were already buying series by the sheet, and some municipalities printed well beyond any plausible circulation need. Dömitz's issue appears modest in scope by comparison.
