| Beschrijving voorzijde | Notgeld voucher in multicolour letterpress, divided into three vertical panels within a heavy black border. The left panel contains a vignette of a medieval knight in full armour holding a large red cross shield, rendered in a woodcut-like style; the right panel shows a seated medieval woman in an orange robe viewed from behind. The central panel presents a colour vignette of Rudelsburg castle ruins set against a cloudy blue sky, flanked by the large numeral '50' in grey at lower left and right. Below the central vignette, a two-line verse text appears in Gothic script, and a validity inscription with the Burgwirt's signature runs along the bottom margin, with the printer's imprint beneath. |

Bad Kösen's 50 Pfennig Notgeld from 1921 was printed by Eduard Giltsch of Jena, a firm better known for its scientific and academic illustration work — an unusual choice for emergency currency, and one that likely accounts for the quality of engraving relative to comparable municipal issues of the period.
The Rudelsburg, a ruined 12th-century castle above the Saale valley, was already a fixture of German Romantic nationalism by the time this note was designed by Köthau. Its appearance on Notgeld was as much a local tourism pitch as a design decision — Bad Kösen was a spa town, and these small notes circulated partly as collectibles among visitors from the start.
