| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Notgeld issued in purple and green bicolour letterpress. The central green field carries a vignette of a large, spreading willow tree — the so-called Dreiburschenbaum (Three-Lads Tree) on the castle courtyard — rendered in a bold woodcut-style print. A cartouche with jagged border in the lower centre contains the redemption text in Gothic lettering, dated 1 November 1921 and bearing a manuscript signature. The denomination numeral '50' appears in stylised script in the upper-left and upper-right purple side panels, with the currency abbreviation 'Pf.' below each, and the serial number '1525' at lower left; the designer's name 'FRZ. J. KRINGS' appears at lower right. The town name 'KOENIGSWINTER' is set in large white capitals across the full-width green footer. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse is printed in purple and green on a purple ground. A large ornate cartouche with elaborate foliate and wave-pattern borders occupies the centre, enclosing three stanzas of Ludwig Uhland's ballad 'Des Wirtshaus' in bold Gothic capitals, attributed 'LUDW. UHLAND' at the lower centre of the cartouche. To the left stands a heraldic shield bearing a cross with flanking lily motifs, topped by a cluster of upward-pointing arrows — an armorial device associated with the region; a corresponding shield to the right displays a sword or sword-shaped emblem on a green field, also surmounted by a finial with arrows. |

Königswinter's 1921 notgeld issue belongs to the second wave of German municipal emergency currency — by this point no longer a genuine response to coin shortages but increasingly a deliberate collectible product. Towns competed for sales to the rapidly growing notgeld collector market, and many commissioned local artists rather than commercial printers to give their issues regional character. Frz. J. Krings almost certainly falls into that category here.
The Rhineland was under Allied occupation in 1921, and the Reichsmark's accelerating instability made small-denomination scrip practically necessary regardless of collector demand.
