| Reverse description | Printed in deep carmine-red on a fine geometric guilloche underprint, the reverse is dominated by a large central oval cartouche with decorative scrollwork. Within the cartouche, the municipal arms of Bremervörde — a standing figure on a shield — occupy a circular vignette at centre, flanked by the denomination words 'FÜNFZIG' and 'PFENNIG' in bold serif lettering. The issuer name 'Stadt Bremervörde' arches across the top of the cartouche, while the numeral '50' appears within a foliate ornament at the base. |

| Comments |
Bremervörde was a small market town in the Prussian province of Hanover, and like hundreds of similar municipalities, it issued emergency paper money — Notgeld — during the severe coin shortages that accompanied the First World War and its immediate aftermath. These local issues were legal tender only within the issuing community, which kept circulation geographically tight and survival rates uneven. Small-town issues like this one were often printed in short runs by local printers with modest equipment.
Collector demand for Bremervörde issues is modest; the town produced no particularly elaborate artistic series of the kind that made some 1920s Notgeld famous.
