| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in black and teal with a dense floral guilloche underprint of swirling acanthus scrolls filling the entire field. A rectangular vignette at the top centre presents a detailed silhouette panorama of Buxtehude's skyline with a prominent church spire, captioned 'BUXTEHUDE' below in bold letterpress. The city arms — a shield bearing two crossed keys surmounted by a cross — are centred in the lower half, flanked by the denomination '50 PFENNIG' on each side and by two rearing wolf figures at lower left and right. Vertical text blocks at left and right margins contain the legal redemption text and statutory authority references, with two manuscript signatures of the Magistrat and the Bürgervorsteher respectively. |

Buxtehude's 1920 notgeld issue belongs to the second wave of German municipal emergency currency — the inflationary pressures of the post-WWI Weimar period forced hundreds of small towns to print their own fractional denominations when Reichsbank coinage simply vanished from circulation. Gebrüder Jänecke was a well-established Hannover printing firm with a long history in commercial and securities printing, a logical regional choice for Lower Saxon municipalities unwilling to pay premium rates to Berlin houses.
Small-town notgeld of this type was frequently over-printed relative to actual need, creating instant collectibles that never circulated at all — a dynamic the municipalities understood and exploited as a revenue stream.
