| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is framed by a geometric diamond-pattern border with decorative rosette corner vignettes and the denomination numeral '50' repeated in each corner. A central rectangular vignette rendered in fine letterpress illustrates two hares seated among tall grasses and flowering plants. Below the vignette, text in German blackletter script states the issuing authority, the expiry date of 31 January 1922, and carries two manuscript facsimile signatures; the printer's imprint 'KONRAD HANF, HAMBURG 8' appears at the bottom margin. |

| Opmerkingen |
Hemdingen is a village in Holstein that almost certainly had a population under a thousand when this note was issued — one of hundreds of German municipalities that entered the Notgeld market well after the initial 1918–1921 wave, by which point small-denomination collector issues had become a minor revenue stream for cash-strapped local governments. Konrad Hanf was a Hamburg commercial printer with no particular specialization in currency work, which is typical of the later Kleingeldscheine phase.
Worth knowing: by 1922, many of these issues were printed speculatively and sold directly to collectors without ever functioning as change.
