50 Pfennig Beuthen an der Oder

Beuthen an der Oder — now Bytom Odrzański in western Poland — was a small Silesian town whose magistrate issued this Notgeld during the post-WWI small-change famine that paralyzed German retail commerce between 1917 and the early 1920s. Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott in Glogau (also now Polish, as Głogów) was one of Silesia's more prolific regional printers of emergency currency, handling municipal contracts across the province rather than the larger national printing houses.

The 70 × 50 mm format is notably small even within Notgeld norms, suggesting a deliberate economy of materials during a period of acute paper rationing.
