Oldisleben is a small Thuringian village on the Unstrut river, and its Gemeindekasse — the municipal cashbox, not a bank — issued this 50 Pfennig note during the notgeld wave of 1921, when coin shortages forced even minor parishes to produce emergency small change. The reference suffix "1/10" indicates this is the first of ten notes in the series, likely a numbered collectible set rather than working currency; by 1921, much notgeld was being printed explicitly for sale to collectors rather than for genuine circulation.
The printed date of 30 April 1945 is almost certainly a catalog or data entry anomaly — that date falls in the final days of the Third Reich, decades after this issue.
