Obverse lettering STADT MELLE
50 PF
Deutsches Mark, Du wurdest schwach.
Deutsche Mark, Du folgtest nach.
Deutscher Arm, Du wirst Dich straffen,
Wieder werken, wieder schaffen.
Deutschen Schild soll niemand schelten.
Deutsches Geld muß wieder gelten!
Reverse description The upper register presents a line-drawn vignette of a horse-drawn cart with a driver, a flock of birds in flight above, and the denomination numeral 50 in ornamental circles at each upper corner. To the right of the vignette, a four-line rhyming verse in German Gothic script is printed. A double rule separates this scene from the lower panel, which carries the validity clause and issue details in italic script, concluded by a manuscript signature above the designation Der Magistrat and the date Melle, November 1921.
Reverse lettering Ich bin eine halbe Mark,
Die ganze ist schon nicht stark.
Willst Du mit mir was holen,
So bringe mich nach Polen.
Dieser Gutschein ist zum Verkehr mit den städtischen Kassen bestimmt. Er verliert einen Monat nach öffentlicher Aufforderung zur Einlösung seine Gültigkeit.
Melle, November 1921. Der Magistrat
