| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse is printed in dark green and red on cream paper and carries an elaborate artistic composition: full-length figures of Gotthard the Abbot (left, in episcopal vestments with crozier and halo) and Ernst the Pious (right, in period robes holding a book) flank a central oval cartouche supported by putti amid baroque scrollwork, enclosing a green vignette of a Renaissance civic building. The denomination '50 Pfennige' appears in large red Fraktur script across the centre, interleaved with a four-line rhyming verse in Gothic blackletter. The designer's name 'F. Roby' is inscribed in the lower margin. |

| Anmerkungen |
Gotha's 1921 Notgeld issues came out of the same inflationary pressure squeezing every mid-sized German municipality that year — the Reichsbank couldn't keep small-denomination coinage in circulation fast enough, and local councils filled the gap with their own scrip. The Hofbuchdruckerei was the obvious choice here, being a well-regarded Gotha establishment with a long history of quality commercial and official printing work for the region.
F. Roby's design credit is relatively uncommon in Thuringian Notgeld — most issues of this scale went uncredited. Worth noting for specialist collectors of the series.
