Rother whose name appears upper left alongside the series number 4. Ornamental side panels carry stylised grapevine motifs on both flanks, reflecting the Franconian wine-growing tradition of the region. The denomination numeral 50 appears in large green figures at lower left and lower right, with two lines of rhyming German text forming the top and bottom borders. |

Kitzingen's 1921 Notgeld issue was printed by Konrad Triltsch in Würzburg, a firm better known for commercial and academic publishing than currency work — a common enough arrangement during the Notgeld boom, when municipal bodies contracted whoever was local and capable. The designer credit to R. Rother is unusually specific for a small-city emergency issue; most comparable pieces went uncredited.
The DeNG reference suffix ".1-4/6" indicates this is one of several variants within the series — collector demand for complete sets has made the rarer sub-varieties disproportionately sought after relative to their original monetary significance.
