To the left stands a figure of a boy harvester holding a scythe and a basket of produce, and to the right a boy miner resting on a pickaxe; both flanking figures are set in rectangular panels with "50 Pfennig" numerals at their bases. A serial number box at the foot of the central panel carries the issue number in red. |

Bischofsheim vor der Rhön is a small market town in the Rhön mountains of Lower Franconia, and its municipal treasury — the Stadtkasse — issued this 50 Pfennig note during the acute small-change shortage that paralyzed German retail commerce in the early Weimar inflation years. The Reichsbank's inability to keep fractional coinage in circulation drove thousands of municipalities, cooperatives, and private firms to print their own emergency paper, known collectively as Notgeld. Most of these issues were valid only locally and for short periods.
The single signature, Dickas, almost certainly represents the sitting Bürgermeister or municipal treasurer at time of issue — a name that appears on no other widely documented Notgeld series, making attribution to a broader administrative career difficult.
