| Beschrijving voorzijde | Salmon-toned notgeld note with a decorative Gothic-script header reading "Notgeld der Stadt Butzbach" above a secondary band inscribed "Gutschein über Fünfzig Pfennig." At left, an oval intaglio-style portrait vignette of Landgraf Phillipp von Butzbach in 17th-century attire is set within an ornate cartouche. The central composition presents a large unfurled parchment scroll bearing handwritten script, captioned as the charter granted by Ludwig of Bavaria on 10 August 1321, beside which a red wax seal impression of the city arms is affixed; to the right the denomination "50 Pfennig" appears in bold letterpress, accompanied by the commemorative inscription "600 jähriges Stadtjubiläum 1321–1921" and the redemption text, date "Butzbach, den 6. Mai 1921," and the facsimile signature of the Bürgermeister. |

Butzbach's 1921 Notgeld issue belongs to the second wave of German municipal emergency currency — the period after hyperinflation pressures had already forced thousands of towns to fill the void left by a hopelessly inadequate Reichsbank coin supply. By 1921 the practice was so normalized that small printers across Hesse like Scharfes in Wetzlar were running steady contracts for neighboring municipalities, producing short runs that were often as much about local civic pride as practical necessity.
Collector demand had by this point begun distorting the system — many issues were printed in quantities far exceeding actual circulation needs, with towns deliberately producing attractive designs to sell to Serienschein collectors. Whether Butzbach's issue falls into that category or reflects genuine transactional use is not easily determined from surviving examples alone.
