| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is dominated by a large rectangular vignette printed in golden-ochre and dark brown, presenting a detailed etching-style view of the Otterndorf inner harbour (Innenhafen), with sailing vessels moored in the foreground, townspeople on the quay, and the town's church tower and historic buildings visible in the background. Above the central vignette, a two-line Low German verse is set in blackletter script within a banner. The denomination numeral '50' appears in each corner, and the lower border carries the caption 'Otterndorf a/E: Innenhafen' in bold blackletter type; the printer's imprint of Johann Hinrich Meyer, Hamburg is printed in small type below the lower border. |

| Opmerkingen |
Otterndorf is a small coastal town at the mouth of the Elbe in Lower Saxony, and its 1920 Notgeld issues belong to the vast wave of municipal emergency money printed across Germany as coins vanished from circulation during and after the First World War. The reliance on Johann Hinrich Meyer — a Hamburg commercial printer rather than a security printing house — was entirely typical of smaller municipalities that lacked both the budget and the connections for more specialized production.
Meyer printed for dozens of northern German Notgeld issuers during this period. Nothing in Otterndorf's 50 Pfennig issue marks it as technically or historically distinctive within that crowded field.
