| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central vignette presents a large silhouette scene in the characteristic Notgeld papercut style: a musician playing a violin walks at night, accompanied by a wolf approaching from behind, set against a treeline under a crescent moon. Flanking the central panel on both left and right are narrow vertical columns, each bearing a silhouette of an owl and the denomination '50', with the left column inscribed 'Wolfsgrube am Baderberg' and the right 'Berga an der Elster' in vertical Gothic script, and 'Pfennig' appearing below the left denomination numeral. A two-part rhyming verse in Gothic blackletter runs along the top and bottom margins of the note. |

Berga an der Elster was a small textile town in Thuringia, and its municipal government issued this note during the height of the German postwar small-change crisis — the Kleingeldersatz emergency that flooded Germany with thousands of locally printed Notgeld issues between 1920 and 1922. Otto Henning A.G. in nearby Greiz was a regional printer that handled multiple Thuringian municipal commissions during this period, which likely kept production costs low enough for a town of Berga's modest size to participate.
F. Dyroff's silhouette design gave the series its collector name. The silhouette format was a deliberate artistic choice — fashionable in German graphic design of the early Weimar years — and distinguishes this issue from the more generic typeset notes flooding the same market at the same time.
