Obverse description The obverse features the large denomination numeral '50' prominently displayed in the upper field, flanked on either side by the initial 'H' at left and the abbreviation 'PF.' at right, rendered in an Art Nouveau-influenced lettering style with decorative foliate flourishes framing the numerals. Below the denomination, the inscription 'KRIEGSGELD' (war money) appears in bold incuse letters across the centre, followed by 'STADT' and 'NEUBURG' stacked in successive lines, with 'A.D.' at the base, referencing the issuing municipality of Neuburg an der Donau. The coin's distinctive silhouette features four symmetrical concave cutouts at the cardinal points of the otherwise round flan, giving it an ornate, cross-like outline typical of German World War I notgeld issues. The overall design is austere yet purposeful, reflecting the utilitarian nature of wartime emergency coinage struck in zinc.
