| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, matching the obverse in its rope-twist border and cream paper with red, dark brown, and yellow printing, presents the word "Fünfzig" in Fraktur at upper left and right, with "Pfennig" correspondingly at lower left and right, and the numeral "50" set within circular guilloche rosettes on the lateral panels. A repeated "50 PFENNIG" underprint fills the background of the side panels. The central vignette, rendered in letterpress, illustrates the literary scene "Werther und die brotschneidende Lotte" from Goethe's novel, with a serial number panel above. |

| Opmerkingen |
Wetzlar's 50 Pfennig Notgeld of 1920 belongs to the flood of emergency municipal scrip that German cities, towns, and even individual businesses were forced to produce following the postwar coin shortage — by 1921, tens of thousands of distinct Notgeld types were in circulation across Germany. Wetzlar was a mid-sized industrial and optical-manufacturing center on the Lahn, home to the Leitz works, and its municipal administration issued locally printed scrip rather than waiting on a central supply chain that simply wasn't functioning.
Printed by Scharfes Druckereien in the same city, this note never left the local economy it was designed to serve.
