| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in warm ochre-brown and black on a plain paper ground. The central vignette presents a full-figure seated representation of the medieval Minnesänger Walther von der Vogelweide, rendered in a bold woodcut-style line illustration against a grey silhouette of a castle or city skyline; small birds perch around the figure. Two decorative ribbon scrolls flank the central image, carrying a verse inscription in Gothic script. The denomination 'Fünfzig Pfennig' appears in large blackletter at upper right, with 'Gutschein der Stadt Würzburg' at upper left; a red serial number and the facsimile signature of the first Bürgermeister are placed at lower left and right respectively. |

Würzburg's city council issued Notgeld in denominations like this 50 Pfennig piece during the severe coin shortage that gripped Germany from around 1916 onward — a shortage driven not by scarcity of metal per se, but by hoarding and the Reichsbank's inability to maintain small-denomination coin in circulation under wartime conditions. Municipal and commercial bodies across Germany filled the gap with locally printed emergency scrip, and Würzburg was no exception.
H. Stürtz was the city's own university press, which kept production costs low and turnaround fast — a practical arrangement that was common when the issuing authority and a capable printer happened to share the same town.
