| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is organised into three vertical panels separated by timber-frame mine-shaft vignettes: the left panel shows gnome-like miners working underground with picks, while the right panel presents a diminutive figure beside a mine prop, and the broad central vignette renders a colour scene of dwarf miners gathered on an open green landscape with surveying instruments. A two-line Gothic verse inscription runs above the central vignette, with a second verse in the same script along the lower border. The denomination '50' appears in red at upper left and upper right, 'Pfz.' in red at lower left and lower right, and the designer's signature 'W. Dockhorn' at lower right. |

Ballenstedt is a small town in the Harz foothills, seat of the Anhalt ducal house for centuries before German unification made it a provincial backwater. This Kreisschein was issued by the district committee — not a bank — during the acute coin shortage of 1921, when metal coinage had effectively vanished from everyday commerce and local authorities across Germany were flooding the market with their own small-denomination paper. Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a regional job printer who handled a considerable volume of this Notgeld work in the area.
The designer credit to W. Dockhorn is unusually specific for a note at this level — most Kleingeldscheine of the period went uncredited.
