| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in dark blue and salmon-pink on a light green wavy-line guilloche ground. The central vignette portrays a bespectacled male figure — evoking a Bürgermeister or clerk — seated at a desk before an open ledger, with a bookshelf to his left and a stylised mountain silhouette to the right, all rendered in a bold illustrative style. The denomination "50 Pfg." appears at upper left and right flanking the title "Geldnot-Notgeld" in Gothic lettering, while a four-line humorous verse in German script runs along the lower margin; the printer's imprint "Göpel & Bartzsch, Schmölln" is visible at lower left. |

| Opmerkingen |
Schmölln was the center of Germany's button manufacturing industry — at its peak, the town produced roughly half of all buttons made in Germany, a fact the municipality was not shy about advertising. This Notgeld issue is one of hundreds of small-denomination emergency notes printed by German towns in 1921 as the Reichsbank struggled to keep fractional coinage in circulation during accelerating inflation. Göpel & Bartzsch, a local printing firm, handled the run entirely in-house, which was unusual only in how straightforwardly provincial it was.
Series condition varies sharply; locally printed Notgeld from this period often shows uneven ink distribution due to limited press quality.
