| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in the same dark brown, green, and red color scheme, with identical Art Deco side panels bearing the numeral '50' and 'PFENNIG' at the corners. The central vignette illustrates a scene from the legend of Burg Vondern, rendered in an expressionist woodcut style: three armed figures in medieval dress stand in the background, while a kneeling figure in a white garment occupies the foreground, evoking a scene of supplication or judgment. The printer's imprint appears in small type at the lower right margin below the border. |

Osterfeld — a small industrial town in the Ruhr, better known for coal and steel than for currency design — was among the thousands of German municipalities forced into producing Notgeld when postwar inflation and coin hoarding stripped everyday commerce of functional small change. The commission to Josef Dominicus of Paderborn for the artwork is the distinguishing detail here; Dominicus was a working graphic artist rather than a house designer, and his involvement suggests the town made at least a minimal effort at aesthetic quality rather than defaulting entirely to the printer's stock imagery.
Gebrüder Jänecke in Hannover handled a substantial volume of municipal Notgeld work in this period.
