| Beschrijving voorzijde | Dark-ground Notgeld note printed in black, orange, and red. The central vignette presents the municipal coat of arms of Weißenfels — an orange shield charged with a black lion above a church façade — set within a circular wreath border inscribed "STADT WEISSENFELS" with the date 1547. Flanking the central arms are two sunburst rosettes, each carrying the denomination "50 PFG" in red, framed by stylised foliate sprays. The header bears the calligraphic legend "Notgeld der Stadt Weißenfels" with the issue year "1921" and the location qualifier "a.d. Saale"; the lower panel carries the validity clause "Gültig bis vier Wochen nach der Ungültigkeitserklärung im hiesigen Amtsblatt. Der Magistrat:" flanked by decorative cartouches, with the designer's name "Boy Paysen" inscribed in the lower right margin. |

Weißenfels was a mid-sized industrial town in Prussian Saxony, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921 it was printing its own fractional currency because the Reichsbank simply could not produce small-denomination coin fast enough to meet demand. The postwar metal shortage, combined with rampant hoarding of whatever coin remained, made Notgeld like this a practical necessity rather than a civic vanity project — though Weißenfels, as with many towns, took the opportunity seriously.
Boy Paysen was a prolific designer of municipal Notgeld, responsible for issues across multiple German towns during this period. His involvement here places this firmly in the more considered end of the Notgeld spectrum, where local commissions sought artists rather than simply sending text to a job printer.
