| Beschrijving keerzijde | Yellow and black letterpress note with a yellow underprint carrying faint heart and pretzel watermark-style underprint motifs. The central vignette illustrates a humorous genre scene inspired by Fritz Reuter's Low German poem 'De Wett': a top-hatted man and an aproned woman flank a rotund seated figure, with a pendulum clock on the wall behind them. 'Notgeld der Gemeinde Kummerfeld' appears in Gothic script in the left and right panels, with the denomination '50' repeated in the corner blocks. A Low German verse caption runs along the bottom border. |

Kummerfeld is a small village in Schleswig-Holstein, and its decision to issue notgeld was entirely practical — the wartime and postwar coin shortages of 1917–1921 left small communities unable to make change for everyday transactions. Municipal notgeld from villages this size was typically printed in very short runs, distributed locally, and redeemed quickly, which makes survivors uncommon simply through attrition rather than any deliberate scarcity policy.
Konrad Hanf was a Hamburg printer who handled notgeld commissions for numerous small north German municipalities during this period. The design and printing originating from the same firm was common for budget issues.
