| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a satirical allegorical vignette set within an oval guilloche underprint at centre, showing a despondent male figure seated and hunched over a sack labelled "Steuern" (taxes) while three boys stand around him with a press mechanism — a visual commentary on the burden of taxation. Bold red denomination numerals "50" appear at left and right within ornate cartouches formed by the decorative blue and gold border. A rhyming couplet in red Fraktur script runs across the top and bottom of the composition, and validity conditions are inscribed in smaller text at lower left and lower right. The printer's imprint appears at the foot of the note. |

| Opmerkingen |
Saalfeld's 1921 Notgeld issue was one of thousands printed by German municipalities during the postwar inflationary spiral, when chronic coin shortages forced local governments to produce their own fractional currency. The Wiedemannsche Druckerei AG was a local Thuringian press — the note was designed, printed, and issued entirely within the same small city, an unusually self-contained production for the period.
Saalfeld issues from this wave tend to circulate modestly among regional Notgeld collectors, with the town's proximity to the Saale valley giving the series a minor geographic identity. Printing quality from Wiedemann varies across denominations.
