50 Pfennig

Neurode was a small coal-mining town in Lower Silesia — today Nowa Ruda in Poland — and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921, it issued its own Notgeld to address the chronic small-change shortage that plagued the early Weimar Republic. The federal government had effectively stopped supplying adequate fractional coinage, and local authorities filled the gap themselves. Most of these issues were printed in modest runs by regional printers and circulated only within the issuing community.

The DeNG reference suggests this is one of two known varieties within the series, distinguished likely by minor typographic or color differences. Neurode's issues are not among the rarer Silesian Notgeld, but the region's subsequent history — absorbed into Poland after 1945 — gives even routine pieces a certain archival weight that purely German municipal notes lack.
