Yellow-toned note with a fine stippled underprint ground, framed by a thin double-rule border. A central ornate vignette in brown-red renders a stylised Imperial German eagle within an elaborate oval guilloche surround composed of interlocking geometric and foliate motifs. Denomination numerals "50" appear in bold black type within white oval cartouches at the upper left and right corners, above the issuer's name and the spelled-out value "über Fünfzig Pfennig" in Gothic blackletter script; validity text, place, date, authority line, and a manuscript signature appear below the vignette. |

Goslar's 1917 Notgeld issues predate the more flamboyant municipal emergency money that flooded Germany from 1918 onward. The early wartime pieces — 1917 being among the first wave — were functional stopgaps issued because small-denomination coinage had been hoarded or melted down as metal supplies tightened under the demands of the war economy. The Magistrat, rather than the Reichsbank or any provincial authority, bore direct responsibility for redemption, which created genuine municipal liability.
Goslar's particular historical weight as a medieval imperial city and former center of Harz silver mining lends an irony to its citizens queueing paper scrip in place of coin.
