The denomination 'Fünfzig Pfennige' is inscribed in large Gothic blackletter script at centre, below which the issuing authority legend reads 'Stadtkassenschein / Berlin 9. Sept. 1921 / Magistrat der Reichshauptstadt' in matching script, with a facsimile signature below; the serial number panel appears at lower left. |
