| Beschrijving keerzijde | A detailed bird's-eye view vignette of Schloss Altenburg occupies the central panel, rendered in a woodcut-inspired style with rooftops in slate blue, walls in ochre, and surrounding foliage and terrain in warm brown tones. Flanking text panels carry explanatory inscriptions in Gothic script, referencing the location of the Saxon Prinzenraub of 1455 and the contemporary aerial perspective. The denomination '50' appears in red at all four corners with 'Pfg.' in red at the upper corners, and the castle's name is inscribed along the lower margin. |

Altenburg's 1921 Notgeld series takes its name from the Prinzenraub — the 1455 abduction of two Saxon princes, Ernst and Albrecht, from Altenburg Castle by the knight Kunz von Kauffungen. The episode was a genuine political crisis of the late Holy Roman Empire, not local folklore, and it left a deep enough mark that Altenburg claimed it as civic identity well into the twentieth century.
J. A. Schwarz of Lindenberg im Allgäu was among the more prolific Notgeld printers of the inflation period, handling commissions from municipalities across southern and central Germany. The 50 Pfennig denomination sits at the lower end of the series, suggesting it was genuinely intended for small transaction use rather than purely collector issue.
