| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is divided into three vignette panels across the upper portion, each presenting a detailed letterpress view of Düren's townscape, with the central panel showing the market square with a church steeple, tram, and pedestrians, flanked by architectural street scenes. At lower left, the municipal coat of arms of Düren — an eagle above a lion on a quartered shield, set within a laurel wreath — anchors the composition. The denomination '50 PFENNIG 50' is set in bold type across the centre, below which the issuing text and date 'DÜREN, den 1. März 1918.' appear alongside a manuscript signature above the title 'Oberbürgermeister'; the entire design is framed by a repeating 'STADT DÜREN 1918' guilloche underprint border. |

Düren's 50 Pfennig notgeld of 1918 has an unusual wrinkle worth noting: Carl Schleicher & Schüll, the firm that printed it, was itself based in Düren — meaning the city essentially commissioned its emergency currency from a local industrial paper manufacturer rather than a specialist security printer. Schleicher & Schüll were better known internationally for producing filter and laboratory papers than banknotes, which puts this issue in a different category from notgeld printed by established currency houses.
The timing places it squarely in the acute coin shortage that gripped German municipalities from 1917 onward, as wartime metal requisitioning stripped small denomination coinage from everyday commerce.
