To the right, the denomination '50' is printed in large red numerals above the inscription 'PFENNIG', with the place-name 'CALCAR i.J. 1922' and the legend 'DER BÜRGERMEISTER:' below, accompanied by a facsimile signature and a red circular city seal bearing the municipal arms at the lower centre. A fine crosshatch guilloche underprint covers the entire field. |
