| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | The obverse is arranged in a tripartite layout, with the central vignette occupied by the heraldic arms of Nördlingen: a crowned black eagle on a shield bearing the Gothic initial "N" in gold, rendered in a bold letterpress style. Flanking cartouches on the left and right carry the denomination numerals "50" in large black type over a fine text underprint repeating "NORDLINGEN" in gold, with the issuing legend and date "2. Okt. 1918" on the left and the authority "Stadtmagistrat" with the Bürgermeister signature line on the right. A serial number panel in red is set below the central shield within a decorative cartouche. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse repeats the tripartite cartouche arrangement in black and gold, with flanking denomination panels reading "50 Pfennig" over a fine underprint. The central vignette presents an intaglio-style line engraving of a narrow medieval street in Nördlingen, with half-timbered rooftops in the foreground and the tall tower of St. Georg's church rising prominently in the background. The validity inscription and expiry date "31. Dezember 1919" with the place name "Nördlingen" appear in the right cartouche. |

| Anmerkungen |
Nördlingen's municipal administration issued this Notgeld note during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the final year of the war, when hoarding of metal coinage had stripped everyday commerce of workable denominations. The Stadtmagistrat — the city council itself, not a bank — acted as issuer, a common but legally awkward arrangement that multiplied across hundreds of German towns in 1917–1918.
Nördlingen sits inside one of Europe's best-preserved meteorite impact craters, the Ries, and the local stone used in its medieval walls contains suevite — a fact the town has never been shy about. Whether any of that civic pride bled into the note's design is a question the catalog images answer better than this entry can.
The 1919 issues reflect post-Armistice continuation of the shortage, not wartime emergency.
