| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in green, black, and ochre tones, with a large central vignette of a ruined medieval castle — identified by caption as the hunting lodge of Charlemagne (Jagdschloß Karls des Großen) — set in a wooded landscape with a stream in the foreground. Flanking text panels carry rhyming German verses referencing Charlemagne's construction of the castle and eleven centuries of loyalty to the Reich. The denomination '50 Pfennig' appears in the upper corners, with 'Kreis Monschau' in bold Gothic blackletter across the top. |

Monschau (known as Montjoie until 1918) was a small wool-manufacturing town in the Eifel region near the Belgian border, and its district committee issued this note during the acute small-change shortage that plagued Germany in the early Weimar years. The Kreisausschuss — the district executive committee — was one of thousands of local administrative bodies that stepped in when the Reichsbank simply could not supply enough low-denomination coinage to keep commerce moving.
The designer credit to Lütkens is worth noting: regionally commissioned Notgeld of this period was often handed to local commercial artists, and the results varied enormously in quality. Nothing about this issue's printing history is firmly documented.
