| Beschrijving voorzijde | At upper centre, an arched green ribbon banner carries the inscription 'NOTGELD der Stadt ITZEHOE v. Holst.' beneath a red heraldic shield bearing the Itzehoe city arms, with denomination numeral '50' in each upper corner accompanied by Gothic 'Pf' markers. The lower half presents a silhouetted skyline vignette of Itzehoe dominated by a tall church spire set against a clouded sky, flanked by two columns of text stating the validity date of 30 September 1921 and the redemption authority of the Stadthauptkasse Itzehoe, with the Magistrat manuscript signature below. A serial number cartouche in olive-green appears at lower left, with printer and designer credits along the bottom margin. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed in olive-green, ochre, and black, the reverse carries denomination roundels '50' set into decorative corner cartouches. A central rectangular vignette in fine line work depicts a rustic thatched farmstead amid trees beneath a luminous sky, framed above and below by acanthus-scroll ornamental borders enclosing the date '1838'. Two columns of Low German (Plattdeutsch) verse text in Gothic script flank the vignette, with a header inscription in red Gothic lettering across the top and a closing attribution line referencing Johann Hinrich Fehrs along the bottom. |

Itzehoe's 1921 Notgeld issue came during the period when hundreds of German municipalities were producing their own emergency fractional currency to compensate for the chronic shortage of small-change coins — a shortage driven partly by hoarding and partly by the Reichsbank's inability to keep pace with inflation. W. Gente in Hamburg handled a considerable volume of Schleswig-Holstein municipal Notgeld during this window, and the local designer credit to E. Meyer of Itzehoe is unusually specific for a series at this denomination level.
The 0649.4b designation within the DeNG catalogue indicates this belongs to a multi-variant issue — collectors should check watermark and paper stock differences between the 4a and 4b types, as these are the most common points of misattribution in the series.
