| Obverse description | Yellow-cream note printed in green and grey-blue, with a panoramic vignette across the upper portion showing the Rhine riverscape with the town of Königswinter and the Siebengebirge hills beyond, rendered in a bold Expressionist graphic style. Two green panels at left and right each bear the denomination numeral '50' above 'Pf' in heavy letterpress. A central cartouche with wavy decorative border carries the redemption text in stylised Gothic script, dated 1.11.21 with a manuscript signature, the serial number at lower left, and the designer's name 'FRZ. J. KRINGS' at lower right; the issuer name 'KOENIGSWINTER' runs in large capitals along the bottom margin. |
