| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse carries a large ochre-toned vignette illustrating a rural folk scene in a woodcut-style idiom, in which villagers in traditional dress load baskets of eggs onto a horse-drawn wagon, evoking a historical tax-payment custom. Below the vignette, a central text panel in Fraktur script contains a four-line rhyming verse, flanked on each side by bold denomination panels reading '50 Pfennig' in ochre on a dark ground. The overall composition is enclosed within a double-ruled rectangular border consistent with the obverse. |

Ditfurt 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 following the coin shortages of the early Weimar period. Hundreds of communities, some with populations in the low hundreds, printed their own fractional notes when small change became genuinely impossible to find. The signature of Engelbrecht most likely indicates a local official — Bürgermeister or treasurer — rather than a printer or engraver.
The DeNG reference places this within the fourth sub-variety of the series, suggesting Ditfurt issued multiple distinct types, which was common among communities that misjudged initial print runs or changed design details between printings.
