| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in ochre, grey, and black on cream paper in a Jugendstil-influenced illustrative style. The central vignette shows a full-length armoured medieval knight standing in a round-arched stone gateway, holding a shield inscribed with a Low German verse; the city arms surmount the arch above. Circular denomination cartouches reading '50 Pfg.' flank the composition at left and right, while a scrolling ribbon along the lower margin carries the redemption text and the issuing date, with a manuscript signature of the Magistrat at lower right. |

| Opmerkingen |
Herne was a rapidly industrializing Ruhr coal town in 1921, and like hundreds of German municipalities that year, it issued its own Notgeld to address the acute small-change shortage as hyperinflation began dismantling the national currency. What sets many of these civic emissions apart is the printing arrangement: Herne contracted Ratsdruckerei R. Dulce in Glauchau, Saxony — a specialist Künstlerdruck (artist-print) house operating well outside the issuing municipality's region.
The designer credit to Schleinitz is the kind of detail that separates a commissioned artistic series from a purely utilitarian scrip issue.
