| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in blue and black on pale paper, with a Fraktur script heading reading 'Stadt Cosel O.S.' at the top within a decorative oak-leaf border. The central vignette presents the municipal coat of arms of Cosel — a heraldic shield surmounted by a crenellated fortress tower in blue, with three goats rendered in the lower field — flanked on each side by the denomination numeral '50' in large blue digits above the word 'Pfennig' in Gothic script. The issue date 'Cosel, den 1. April 1921' appears at lower left, with the issuing authority 'Der Magistrat' and a facsimile signature at lower right; the printer's imprint 'Flemming-Wiskott A.-G. Glogau' runs along the bottom margin. |

Cosel — Koźle in Polish — sat in the contested heart of Upper Silesia during the plebiscite crisis of 1921, when Allied administration and the threat of partition made normal banking near impossible. Notgeld issued by municipalities like Cosel wasn't emergency money in the wartime sense; it was a practical response to the chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage that plagued Germany through the early Weimar years, compounded here by the political uncertainty of a region that didn't yet know which country it belonged to.
Carl Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau printed enormous quantities of municipal Notgeld across Silesia during this period, and their output for Cosel reflects that volume — not a scarce issue by any measure.
