| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed on a cream ground in teal-green and black. A central vignette presents a heraldic eagle with wings spread above a lion passant, both rendered in a bold woodcut style; a ribbon scroll beneath the lion bears the legend GUTSCHEIN DER GEMEINDE, with the municipality monogram UK and date 1920 below. The denomination 50 PF appears in each corner and in large teal numerals at centre, with validity notices in both German and Danish flanking the central motif. Two facsimile signatures of the Gemeindevorsteher / Komuneforstander appear at lower left and right, and a handstamped serial number is visible at lower right. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse carries a full-width polychrome historical vignette illustrating the Vrnehoved Landsthing of 1220, in which a column of medieval armoured soldiers armed with bows discharge volleys of arrows toward a lone red-cloaked rider on a rearing white horse at left, identified as the Mølleren fra Haystrup; the Danish flag is visible among the troops at right. The denomination 50 PF appears in teal at upper left, the header GUTSCHEIN DER GEMEINDE UK runs across the top in a dark band, and the Danish legal maxim MED LOV SKAL LAND BYGGES is set in bold lettering on a red panel at the foot. The artist's signature Holtz is inscribed at lower right of the vignette. |

| Opmerkingen |
Uk is a small village on the island of Rügen in Pomerania, and like hundreds of other German municipalities in 1920, it issued emergency paper money — Notgeld — to offset the chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage in the postwar economy. These hyperlocal issues were produced in enormous variety, and collectors drove much of the demand; many municipalities printed far more than their communities could ever use in trade, effectively funding local budgets through philatelic speculation.
The designer credit "Holtz" is uncommon enough to suggest a local commission rather than one of the established Notgeld print houses.
