| Descripción del anverso | Multicolour letterpress Notgeld with a central vignette of Xanten Cathedral (St. Viktor Dom) rendered in blue and grey tones, signed by Heinz Schiestl at lower right; flanking the cathedral are full-length figures of Saint Victor in armour and red cape over a heraldic shield bearing a blue cross at left, and Saint Helena above the Xanten civic arms in red and gold at right. An arched Gothic-script legend runs across the top, with the denomination 'FÜNFZIG' and 'PFENNIG' in bold red letterpress at the lower left and right respectively. The overall composition reflects the Jugendstil-influenced graphic style typical of quality German Notgeld issues of the early 1920s. |

| Descripción del reverso | Bold silhouette composition in black on a cream ground within an octagonal vignette framed by a gold and dark border, signed by Jakob Wurm, illustrating the death of Siegfried — a warrior struck down by a spear-wielding assailant amid stylised forest trees. Flanking side panels in gold and grey depict gnarled woodland motifs with a red flame accent at left, while the denomination numeral '50' appears in red at the lower left and right corners. The Gothic caption 'SIEG FRIEDS TOD' is centred at the lower margin, anchoring the dramatic Nibelungen narrative scene in a graphic idiom characteristic of the finest Künstler-Notgeld of the period. |

Xanten's Domverein und Dompfarre — the cathedral association and cathedral parish — issued this note jointly, a clerical body taking on the role of emergency money issuer in the economic chaos of early Weimar Germany. That the issuing authority was a church institution rather than a municipal treasury or savings bank is genuinely unusual, even by the freewheeling standards of the Notgeld era.
Heinz Schiestl was a Munich-based Catholic artist and woodcut specialist whose religious commissions were well regarded in Bavaria; his involvement here was a natural fit for an ecclesiastical issuer. J. Adolf Schwarz of Lindenberg im Allgäu was a specialist Notgeld printer who handled numerous ecclesiastical and civic commissions across southern Germany during this period.
