| Beschrijving voorzijde | Orange and black bicolor Notgeld on cream paper with a green scalloped border frame. The left half carries a silhouette landscape vignette, signed 'F. Dyroff' in the upper left corner, showing a rural mill or farmstead set against wooded hills and a streaked sky rendered in bold black against the orange ground. The right panel bears the denomination '50 Pfg.' in large Gothic numerals at upper left and right flanking an ornate municipal coat of arms, below which the text 'Gutschein der Stadt Berga (Elster) / 1. Oktober 1921 / Der Stadtgemeindevorstand' appears in blackletter script, followed by a manuscript signature above the title 'Bürgermeister'; the printer's imprint 'Otto Henning A.-G., Greiz.' runs along the bottom margin. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Orange and black bicolor reverse on cream paper, dominated by a full-width silhouette vignette against an orange ground within a black border, illustrating a scene from the local Hammermichel folk legend in which four costumed figures — including a crouching woman and three men in pointed hats — interact around a dish, with a black cat at their feet. The denomination '50 Pfg.' appears in Gothic script at the upper left and right corners, with the location names 'Unterhammer an der Elster' and 'Berga an der Elster' printed vertically along the left and right inner margins respectively. A two-line verse in Fraktur type runs above and below the central vignette. |

Berga an der Elster was a small Thuringian textile town, and like hundreds of similarly sized German municipalities it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — during the inflationary chaos of the early Weimar years. The Silhouette Series gets its name from the distinctive cut-paper aesthetic that F. Dyroff employed across the design, a style fashionable among German graphic artists of that period and reproduced here by Otto Henning A.G. in Greiz, a printing firm that handled Notgeld contracts for several regional Thuringian issuers.
The DeNG reference places this within a well-documented but modestly collected local series. Berga's issues never attracted the speculative Notgeld collector market the way larger or more theatrical series did.
