| Beschrijving voorzijde | The large numeral '50' dominates the central field in bold raised relief. A circular legend reading 'GEMEINDE SCHOENWALD 1918' arcs around the upper periphery, while '★ KRIEGSGELD ★' is inscribed along the lower arc, flanked by five-pointed stars. The design is rendered in a plain, utilitarian style typical of German Notgeld emergency coinage of the First World War period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed forest scene occupies the central field, depicting two tall conifer trees — rendered in naturalistic relief with carefully engraved branching foliage — flanking a foreground mound upon which two mushrooms (porcini type) grow at the base between the trees. The ground is textured with grass and earth detail. The entire design is enclosed within a raised beaded (pearl) border, the whole composition serving as an allusion to the Black Forest setting of the issuing municipality of Schönwald. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Schönwald, a small porcelain-manufacturing town in the Black Forest, issued this iron notgeld piece in 1918 as the imperial coinage system collapsed under wartime metal requisitioning. By that point the Reich had already stripped copper, nickel, and eventually zinc from circulation for munitions production, leaving municipalities to fill the gap with whatever material remained available — in many industrial towns, that meant iron punchings from factory floor scrap.
The Funck reference places this among a documented series from the same issuer, suggesting Schönwald produced multiple denominations rather than a one-off emergency piece.
