| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in green, dark red, and black on a grey ground within a double-ruled border. A central oval vignette, surrounded by an elaborate acanthus-scroll underprint in green, contains a bust portrait of a young girl in traditional Franconian dress and a red cap, holding a bunch of flowers — identified below the oval as 'Kellermeisters Toechterlein' (the cellarmaster's daughter), a character from the Rothenburger Festspiel. The denomination 'Fünfzig Pf.' appears in Gothic script at upper left and right, with denomination shields at the lower corners and a two-line verse inscription along the bottom margin. |

Rothenburg's Notgeld program was among the more commercially calculated of the Weimar inflation era — the city recognized early that collectors, particularly from the United States and Britain, were actively seeking decorative small-denomination emergency notes as souvenirs. Adolf Hosse printed locally, and the series was produced in sufficient quantity to meet that tourist demand as much as any genuine monetary need.
The 1921 date places this note in the second wave of German municipal Notgeld, by which point many issuances were effectively philatelic products dressed as currency.
