| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is arranged in three vertical panels printed in blue and brown. The central panel carries a finely cross-hatched line-art townscape vignette of a Gifhorn street scene with a church steeple and historic half-timbered buildings, signed 'O. Krone' at the upper edge. The two flanking panels display ornamental guilloche medallions, each enclosing the denomination numeral '50' within a circular cartouche above the inscription 'PFENNIG', surmounted by the town name 'Gifhorn' in Gothic lettering. |

| Opmerkingen |
Gifhorn's 1921 notgeld issue was typical of the flood of municipal emergency money produced across Germany during the postwar inflationary spiral, when coin shortages made small-denomination scrip a practical necessity rather than a collector's novelty. Appelhans was a well-established Braunschweig commercial press with a long history of quality regional printing work — not a specialist security printer, but competent enough for the modest demands of municipal notgeld.
The designer credit to O. Krone is one of the few individualizing details here. Bürgermeister Th. Grosse's signature appears on what was, functionally, a debt obligation of the town itself.
