| Obverse description | A half-length vignette of a local man in traditional Westphalian peasant costume — wide-brimmed black hat, white shirt with decorative red vest and dark jacket — occupies the left panel against a red foliate underprint within a ruled border. The right panel carries the issuer's title in Gothic script reading 'Spar- u. Darlehnskasse der Gemeinde Eisbergen a.d. Weser', the date 'März 1921', signature lines for Der Vorsteher and Der Rendant, a validity clause in German, and a circular red official seal. The denomination 'Fünfzig Pfennig' is set in bold Gothic lettering across the full lower register, with a decorative red and blue floral border framing the entire note. |

Eisbergen is a small village in the Weser Uplands, and its cooperative savings and loan institution — the Spar- und Darlehnskasse — was among the thousands of local bodies across Germany that issued Notgeld during the inflation years. The 1921 series falls into the so-called "necessary money" phase, before hyperinflation fully took hold in 1922–23, when municipal and cooperative issuers were plugging a genuine gap in small-denomination coinage rather than producing the collector-oriented Serienscheine that flooded the market later.
J. & C. Meyer of Bad Oeynhausen printed for numerous Westphalian issuers in this period, which occasionally makes provenance tricky when notes lack strong local identifiers.
