| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central vignette presents a detailed polychrome architectural view of the Altenburg Rathaus (Town Hall), constructed in 1564 by Nicolaus Grohmann, rendered in warm ochre and slate-blue tones with a cloud-filled sky above the prominent clock tower. Vertical side borders carry columns of stylised red-banded ornamental roundels in lieu of suit symbols, echoing the playing-card theme of the series. The inscription below the vignette identifies the building and its builder, flanked by the city arms motifs of a white glove and red rose, with '50 Pf.' repeated in Gothic script within the corner cartouches. |

Altenburg's 1921 Skat Series notgeld is among the most deliberately local emergency currency ever produced. The city is the historical home of Skat — the three-player card game codified there in the early nineteenth century — and the municipal authorities leaned hard into that identity when commissioning these notes, engaging the Altenburger Spielkartenfabrik, the very playing card manufacturer that had long supplied Skat decks, to do the printing. It was a pointed choice.
Designer Pix produced the artwork across the series. The printer's familiarity with card imagery was not coincidental — it was the whole point.
