| Beschrijving voorzijde | Octagonal flan with a continuous beaded border following the periphery. The issuer's legend 'HENRY PELS & Co.' arcs along the upper portion of the beaded circle, while the denomination numeral '50' is prominently displayed in the center of the field. Three decorative stars appear below the numeral, serving as spacers. The design is purely typographic, with no figurative elements. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Octagonal flan with a continuous beaded border tracing the full interior periphery. The denomination numeral '50' is rendered in large, bold relief and occupies virtually the entire central field, leaving minimal open space between the figure and the beaded rim. The design is starkly utilitarian, with no additional legend, device, or ornament. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henry Pels & Co. was an Erfurt-based tobacco and cigarette manufacturer that issued this zinc notgeld token during the acute coin shortage of World War I, when the Imperial government's wartime metal requisitions stripped copper and nickel from civilian circulation almost entirely. Zinc, a material with no meaningful pre-war role in German coinage, became the default fallback for municipal and commercial token issuers across Thuringia and beyond.
The Menzel reference numbers indicate this is the third die variety catalogued for this specific type — a detail worth noting for series collectors.
