Reverse description The reverse is rendered in green, brown, and black tones, with a humorous Notgeld vignette illustrating a scene of a motor car crash on a country road. A large automobile is shown careering off a bend at upper right while its wreckage — wheels, parts, and debris — lies scattered in the centre foreground; two figures gesticulate with raised arms at left amid trees, and a warning sign reading 'Vorsicht' is visible. The denomination '50' appears in red at lower right, and a multi-line satirical poem in Fraktur script runs across the top and bottom of the note.
Reverse lettering Hauptschieber Vollbauch-protzig-dicke er ward das Opfer ihrer Tücke; denn in der Kurve an der Lanne
erlitt sein Auto vollste Panne
Ihr Steinberg brach den Pneumatix das Löff-Löff-Vieh- und Schieverglück
Vorsicht
