At lower right, a circular municipal seal reading BURG B.M. SIEGEL ET FREIHEIT is rendered on a decorative scroll-like cartouche, while the denomination numeral '50' appears in large gothic characters at lower left and right.

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed entirely in sepia using a photographic 'Farbfoto' reproduction technique, occupying nearly the full note surface. It reproduces a large-format painting set within an elaborate architectural interior, showing a densely crowded scene of figures in period dress, likely referencing a historical famine or humanitarian crisis. The caption below the image is rendered in gothic blackletter script. |

Burg an der Wupper issued this note during the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany in the early Weimar period, when silver coinage had largely disappeared from circulation and the Reichsbank could not supply enough low-denomination currency to meet everyday transactional demand. Municipalities, tramway companies, merchants, and local savings banks all filled the gap with their own Notgeld — and by 1921, the phenomenon had expanded well beyond necessity into a minor collecting industry, with towns issuing artistically elaborate series partly to generate revenue from philatelic buyers.
Burg an der Wupper, a small industrial town in the Bergisches Land known for its cutlery and metalworking trades, was one of hundreds of Rhenish municipalities to participate. The DeNG reference places this within a documented series, though individual print runs for issues at this level were rarely recorded with any precision.
