| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a dark-bordered rectangular frame enclosing three vertical panels: the left and right panels each bear a large red rosette vignette with the denomination numeral '50' and abbreviation 'Pf.' in bold letterpress, while the central panel carries the full-colour municipal coat of arms of Neustettin — a black eagle with red and gold detailing on a yellow shield. The city name 'NEUSTETTIN' and date '15. NOVEMBER 1921' appear at lower left, with 'DER MAGISTRAT' and a manuscript signature at lower right. A multi-line redemption notice in German script occupies the bottom register, with the printer's imprint 'Druck von Adolf Forker, Leipzig' at the lower right margin. |

| Comments |
Neustettin — now Szczecinek in northwestern Poland — was a Pomeranian market town whose municipal authority issued this note during the hyperinflationary spiral of 1922, when Reichsbank supply consistently failed to keep pace with demand for small-denomination currency. The printer, Adolf Forker of Leipzig, handled a significant volume of German municipal Notgeld work during this period, though his output is less documented than the major houses like Giesecke & Devrient.
The DeNG reference suffix distinguishes between at least two known variants within this series — differences typically involving serial number placement or paper stock rather than design changes.
