| Obverse description | Printed in green, blue, red, and gold on white paper, the obverse is centred on the municipal coat of arms of Brunsbüttelkoog set within an elaborate gold cartouche flanked by acanthus scrollwork; the upper half of the shield presents a sailing vessel on blue waves before a harbour scene, while the lower half shows a mounted knight in armour on a rearing white horse against a red field. The denomination "Fünfzig Pfennig" appears in white Gothic script on a dark blue banner at the top, with "50" repeated in blue within ornate oval frames at left and right. Redemption text naming the Schleswig-Holsteinischen Bank and the validity date "31. Jan. 1922" are inscribed along the lower border, with the printer's imprint at the foot. |

| Comments |
Brunsbüttelkoog in 1922 was a small industrial town on the Elbe estuary, its economy tied to the North Sea–Baltic canal traffic and the chemical works that had expanded there during the war years. The local merchants' and industry association — the Verein für Handel, Gewerbe und Industrie — issued this Notgeld during the acute small-change shortage that plagued German commerce in the early inflation period, when metal coins were being hoarded or melted faster than the Reichsbank could replace them.
Gebrüder Parcus in Munich handled an enormous volume of municipal and association Notgeld commissions between 1920 and 1923, which means production quality is consistent but the notes are rarely rare by virtue of printing alone.
