| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in dark red on cream paper, the obverse carries a banner inscription at top within a decorative frame border. The central vignette presents a full-length armored knight in late medieval plate armor standing before a landscape vignette, his left hand resting on a heraldic shield bearing the local coat of arms with a lion. The denomination '50 Pfennig' is lettered in large script to both left and right of the central vignette, with the issuing authority, date, and validity clause inscribed at lower left, and the Gemeindevorstand's manuscript signature at lower right. |

Stecklenberg is a small village in the Harz district of Saxony-Anhalt, and its 1921 Notgeld issue belongs to the vast wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Germany during the postwar coin shortage. Small communities across the country were authorized — or simply took it upon themselves — to print fractional notes when metal coinage essentially vanished from everyday commerce.
The single signature, Weißenborn, almost certainly represents the Bürgermeister or a municipal treasurer rather than a bank official. No bank existed to authorize it. Validity was purely local, and redemption depended entirely on the issuing municipality honoring its own paper.
