| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features the municipal arms of Überlingen: a rampant lion facing left, centrally positioned within a beaded inner circle. The heraldic lion, rendered in relief, occupies the full height of the inner field against a stippled background. The circular legend STADTGEMEINDE ÜBERLINGEN. runs along the outer periphery, with the city name distributed evenly around the full circumference and terminated by a stop. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the denomination numeral 50 in large raised figures at the top of the field, separated from the lower legend by a solid horizontal line. Below the dividing line, the inscription PFENNIG KRIEGSMÜNZE is arranged across two lines, with the date 1917 at the base. A beaded border encircles the entire design, consistent with the wartime emergency coinage style of the period. |

Überlingen issued this zinc notgeld piece in 1917 as wartime requisitioning stripped Germany's mints of copper and nickel for shell casings and industrial use. Municipal authorities across the Reich were left to improvise their own small-denomination coinage, and the results varied wildly in quality and longevity. Zinc was a poor substitute — prone to corrosion and surface degradation — which explains why high-grade survivors from this issue are genuinely uncommon despite the civic necessity that drove large original production runs.
