| Rückseitenbeschreibung | Vivid three-colour letterpress vignette in red, green, and blue, illustrating the legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin in a naïve expressionist style. The central scene shows the Piper accompanied by townspeople and children against a backdrop of stylized gabled houses, all set within a curved banner bearing the denomination '50 Pf' and the inscription reading 'RATTENFÄNGER BIETET DEM MAGI STRAT SEINE HILFE'. Flanking the scene on both sides are stylized fish or serpent motifs, with floral rosettes at the lower corners and the denomination '50' repeated on both left and right margins. |

Hamelin's 1922 emergency currency — Notgeld, issued to alleviate the chronic small-denomination coin shortage that persisted well into the Weimar years — was among the more commercially self-aware of the genre. Dozens of German municipalities treated Notgeld as a revenue stream, producing attractive series that collectors would purchase and never redeem, leaving the issuing city with pure profit. Hamelin was particularly well-positioned for this: the Pied Piper legend gave local authorities a ready-made design vocabulary that sold.
Appelhans in Braunschweig handled a substantial volume of municipal Notgeld printing during this period, supplying notes across Lower Saxony.
