| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central vignette rendered in a humorous folk-art style illustrates a group of men gathered around a tavern table, upon which an eel has been placed, with a standing figure — presumably the innkeeper — observing from behind; bottles on shelves are visible in the background. Denomination panels reading '50 PFENNIG' flank the vignette on both sides against a pink and cream underprint with wave-pattern ornamentation. A banner scroll below the vignette carries the Low German legend, with the date '1. April 1917' appearing at lower left and right, and a validity notice inscribed beneath. |

Fockbek is a small municipality in Schleswig-Holstein, and like hundreds of German communities in 1917, it issued emergency small-change notes — Kleingeldscheine — to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metal coinage hoarded or melted down for the war effort. The Reichsbank's inability to supply sufficient fractional currency left local councils, businesses, and cooperatives to fill the gap themselves.
Provincial Gemeinde issues at this denomination are among the more ephemeral of the Notgeld type — low print runs, rough local printing, and casual handling mean attrition was high from the start.
