| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is dominated by the large numeral '50' rendered in bold relief with hatched interior detailing, occupying the central field. The word 'Notgeld' appears in gothic script along the upper arc, while 'Pfennig' is inscribed in gothic script along the lower arc. Two six-pointed star ornaments flank the numeral '50' in the mid-field, serving as decorative separators. The plain octagonal border frames the entire composition, consistent with the functional yet stylized aesthetic typical of German municipal emergency coinage of 1921. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cottbus issued this notgeld piece during the acute coin shortage that followed Germany's post-WWI economic dislocation, when the Reichsbank struggled to supply enough small denomination coinage to keep local commerce functioning. Municipal and corporate issuers across Germany filled the gap themselves, and Cottbus was among hundreds of towns that produced iron emergency coinage in 1921 — iron being cheap and available where copper and nickel were not.
The Funck reference places this as variety .3, indicating at least two earlier die variants exist for this type.
