| 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. |

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 |
