| Reverse description | Black and green silhouette-style vignette by artist R. Rother, printed on cream paper, with decorative grapevine panels flanking both vertical margins. The central scene illustrates two figures in caricature silhouette — a stooped woman reaching toward a large money sack marked '1000 MK.' and a top-hatted man carrying a bundle — accompanied by green dot matrix accents in the upper field. The denomination '50' appears in large green Art Nouveau numerals at both lower corners, framed by rhyming satirical verses along the top and bottom borders. |

| Comments |
Kitzingen's 1921 Notgeld series was designed by R. Rother and printed by Konrad Triltsch in nearby Würzburg — a common arrangement in the Franconian region, where several municipal councils used the same press for their emergency small-change issues. The Triltsch firm had an established sideline in local Notgeld production during the early Weimar inflation years, when coins had effectively vanished from everyday commerce and thousands of German municipalities scrambled to fill the gap.
The DeNG reference 0702.1 places this within a six-note set, all sharing the same issuing authority and date.
