| Beschrijving voorzijde | Black letterpress on pale lilac guilloche underprint, with a thick ornamental border enclosing the design. The large denomination numerals '50' and 'PFENNIG' dominate the left and centre, above a serial number in green. To the right stands a vignette of Jan von Werth, the celebrated Cologne cavalry general, in period armour with a lance, labelled 'J. v. Werth'. A red circular city seal of Köln is affixed at lower left, alongside the manuscript signature of the Oberbürgermeister dated 13 July 1921, and a clause text stating acceptance at all municipal cashiers. |

Cologne's Notgeld issues of 1921 came during the height of Germany's postwar coin shortage, when municipal and commercial authorities across the Rhineland were printing emergency small-denomination scrip to cover what the Reichsbank simply couldn't supply in metal. Stadt Köln contracted M. Dumont Schauberg — the city's own major newspaper and printing house, founded in 1802 — for several denominations, keeping production entirely local.
The Rhineland's status as an Allied-occupied zone after Versailles added a particular administrative wrinkle: German municipal authorities had to issue currency within a framework of occupation oversight, making even routine Notgeld production a mildly political act.
