| Obverse description | A coloured panoramic vignette of the Deggendorf townscape stretches across the centre, with church spires and rolling hills reflected along the Danube riverfront. The Bavarian city crest appears in the upper left corner, flanked by the denomination '50 Pf.' in bold letterpress on both left and right margins. Below the vignette, manuscript-style facsimile signatures of the Bürgermeister and Stadtkämmerer appear above the printer's imprint 'H. Stürtz A.G. Würzburg' at the foot of the note. |

| Comments |
Deggendorf's 1920 Notgeld issue was designed by Alf Pacher, a regional artist whose name appears across several Bavarian emergency currency commissions from this period — municipalities frequently contracted local or semi-local designers to give their scrip a distinct civic character, partly for pride, partly because distinctiveness made counterfeiting less worthwhile. H. Stürtz in Würzburg was a serious academic press with the equipment to handle watermarked stock, which lifts this above the cruder municipal issues printed on whatever paper was available.
The 5b suffix in the DeNG reference indicates a recognized sub-variety, likely a paper or watermark distinction within the broader D8 printing.
