| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large arched vignette in olive-green tones occupies the full face, illustrating the Oberweißbacher Bergbahn — described in the upper inscription as the steepest railway in the world — with a bearded craftsman or worker standing in the foreground to the left beside workshop machinery, the funicular cable car tracks and station buildings visible in the wooded valley behind him. The denomination "50" appears in stylised numerals at the upper left and right corners within the arch. A boxed inscription at the foot of the note carries an invitation in Gothic script to board at this station for the four railway communities. |

Four separate Thuringian mountain villages — Oberweißbach, Cursdorf, Deesbach, and Lichtenhain — issued this note jointly in 1921, a cooperative arrangement that was unusual even by the loose standards of German Notgeld. The Wiedemannsche Druckerei AG in Saalfeld handled the printing, with the issuing municipality presumably differentiated by overprint or inscription variant, which accounts for the .1 through .4 suffixes in the DeNG reference.
By mid-1921 the wave of "Serienscheine" collector Notgeld was cresting, and small communes had learned that printing attractive small-denomination notes could generate net revenue from philatelic demand alone.
