| Obverse description | Plain white ground enclosed within a bold red rectangular border. The heading in Gothic blackletter script reads 'Notgeld der Gemeinde Rellingen' with the administrative designation '(Com. Amtsbezirk Pinneberg)' in smaller type beneath, underscored by a red rule. A central text block states the validity conditions referencing the Pinneberger Tagblatt and Lockstedter Anzeiger newspapers. The denomination '50 Pfennig' appears in large Gothic type at lower left and lower right, flanking a circular vignette of a stylised tree. Authority labels for 'Der Com. Amtsvorsteher' and 'Der Finanzausschuss i.A.' are printed above two manuscript signatures, with a red serial number stamped at centre. |

| Comments |
Rellingen is a small municipality in Schleswig-Holstein, and this note is a product of the Kleingeldersatz crisis of the early Weimar years — local authorities across Germany issued their own fractional Notgeld when coin shortages made small transactions nearly impossible. Thousands of municipalities did the same, which is precisely what makes individual issuer identity the only meaningful distinction between them.
The Schreiber credit almost certainly refers to J.F. Schreiber of Esslingen, a publisher responsible for producing Notgeld series for numerous small German communities — not a locally commissioned artist.
