| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in green and black on cream paper, the obverse carries the bold gothic title 'NOTGELD' at the top, beneath which 'Kreis Stolzenau Weser' is set in large decorative lettering. A central oval vignette presents a line-drawn view of a Lower Saxon farmhouse amid trees, captioned 'Niedersächsischer Bauernhof im Kreise Stolzenau', flanked on each side by rectangular panels bearing the denomination '50 Pf' in large black numerals against a green wave underprint. The lower section carries the issuing authority, place, and date 'Stolzenau, d. 1. Mai 1921', with a facsimile signature of the chairman, all enclosed within a scalloped and geometric border. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, printed in green and black on cream paper, centres on a humorous pen-and-ink vignette of a group of figures seated around a table in a tavern scene, rendered in an expressionist illustrative style. A curved ribbon scroll at the top bears the denomination inscription '50 Pfennig 50', while a lower ribbon cartouche carries a two-line Low German dialect motto. The composition is framed by stylised ribbon-and-scroll lateral borders and a scalloped outer edge, with the printer's imprint 'Druck August Scherl G.m.b.H. Berlin' appearing in italic lettering below the frame. |

Stolzenau is a small town on the Weser in Lower Saxony, and the Kreisausschuß — the district executive committee — issuing emergency currency here in 1921 reflects how far down the administrative hierarchy Germany's postwar Kleingeldnot had reached. National coinage had effectively vanished from circulation; even a rural district council was compelled to print its own fractional notes to keep local commerce moving.
August Scherl GmbH was primarily a Berlin newspaper and publishing house — its banknote printing work during the Notgeld period was a sideline born of opportunity, with presses already suited to high-volume paper work.
