| Descrizione del rovescio | The reverse is printed in dark brown on cream paper and presents a dramatic Expressionist silhouette woodcut vignette after Walter Hege, showing three dynamic human figures in vigorous motion — evoking a folk-legend scene — set against a plain ground with a small townscape visible at lower left. Vertical Gothic blackletter text panels on both lateral borders continue a narrative verse relating the local legend of the Edelbacker, while a decorative border of geometric ornament frames the composition at top and bottom. The lower margin carries the caption legend in blackletter script. |

Freyburg's 1921 Notgeld series is among the more photographically distinctive of the Weimar-era municipal issues — Walter Hege, who designed and engraved the set, went on to become one of Germany's most celebrated architectural photographers, particularly known for his work documenting Naumburg Cathedral in the 1920s and 30s. His involvement in small-denomination emergency currency was, in other words, a very early career footnote.
Otto Richters & Co. of Erfurt handled a substantial volume of Thuringian Notgeld during this period, and the print quality on this series reflects that competence. The 50 Pfennig denomination falls within the standard Kleingeldersatz issues produced as coin shortages persisted well into 1921.
