| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse echoes the octagonal format with a continuous pearl border at the periphery. An inner rope circle encloses the central field, where the large numeral '50' appears in bold relief. The legend 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' arcs around the upper portion of the rope circle, identifying this piece as a small-change substitute token (Notgeld), while three five-pointed stars are arranged across the lower field between the rope border and the pearl rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mühlhausen issued this zinc notgeld piece in 1917 as Germany's wartime metal requisitions stripped copper and nickel from civilian coinage. The city — better known historically as the base of Thomas Müntzer's radical Anabaptist commune during the 1525 Peasants' War — had little say in the matter; municipalities across the Reich were effectively compelled to fill the small-change vacuum left by hoarding and official melting programs. Zinc was the pragmatic fallback: abundant, cheap, and deeply unpopular with the public, who found it corroded quickly in pocket wear.
