| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse carries a large multicolour pictorial vignette in an expressionist woodcut style, portraying a cloaked rider in red astride a galloping black horse, interpreted as Faust riding the Devil across a landscape with a village visible at lower right. A yellow banner at the foot bears the black Gothic inscription "Notgeld der Stadt Roda" flanked by the denomination numeral "50" on each side. The printer's imprint "Druck: E. Giltsch / Jena" appears below the banner. |

Roda — renamed Rodewisch? No, this is Roda in Altenburg, a small Thuringian town that joined the wave of municipal Kleingeldersatz issuances that flooded Germany in 1921 as coin shortages became chronic. The Stadtrat here commissioned Eduard Giltsch of Jena, a respected regional printer with a long history of quality commercial and cartographic work, giving these notes a cut above the crudest municipal emergency issues of the period.
The DeNG reference catalogues five design variants (suffixes 1 through 5/8), suggesting the city issued across multiple series — unusual volume for a municipality of Roda's modest size.
