| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in brown and salmon-orange on a fine guilloche underprint, the obverse centres on an oval cameo-style vignette of a classical female bust in left profile, her hair bound with a decorative diadem and ribbon. Denomination numerals '50' appear in octagonal cartouches at upper left and upper right, with the word 'PFENNIG' below each. To the lower centre, the issuer legend 'GUTSCHEIN STADT REMAGEN' and the Latin motto 'OPPIDUM RICOMAGUS' are set in bold letterpress, while to the right a facsimile signature of the Bürgermeister, the date 'REMAGEN, D. 1.1.1921.' and a serial number are printed; at left, a redemption clause text appears in three lines. The printer's imprint 'M. DUMONT SCHAUBERG, KÖLN.' runs along the lower margin. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, printed in the same brown and salmon-orange palette on a fine guilloche ground, carries a large central vignette of the Römertor (Roman gate) in Remagen, rendered in detailed line engraving: a massive Romanesque arched doorway with carved relief panels flanks a secondary open arch to the right, beneath a large tree, with a cobblestone forecourt receding into the background. Denomination numerals '50' are repeated in octagonal cartouches at lower left and lower right, with the caption 'RÖMERTOR' centred beneath the vignette. The whole composition is enclosed within a multi-rule decorative border with corner ornaments consistent with the notgeld printing style of the period. |

Remagen's notgeld series was issued during the acute coin shortage that gripped Weimar Germany after the First World War, when municipalities across the Rhineland were printing their own emergency fractional currency to keep local commerce moving. M. Dumont Schauberg was one of the more prolific Cologne-based printers of regional notgeld, supplying numerous Rhenish towns during this period.
Remagen sits on the Rhine roughly 15 kilometers south of Bonn — the same town whose railway bridge would become strategically critical in March 1945. In 1921, it was simply a small river town trying to make change.
