| Beschrijving voorzijde | Notgeld issued in green, yellow, and black letterpress on cream paper, with bold yellow corner cartouches at upper left and right each bearing the denomination '50 Pfennige' in Gothic script. A central arched vignette frames a view of a church tower and surrounding foliage above the inscription 'Die Stadt im Vest'; flanking the arch, stylised foliate ornaments in green and yellow form the lateral borders. Below the vignette, text records the city's historical associations with Cologne (1170) and the Hanseatic League (1816), followed by the validity clause, issuing authority signature of 'Der Magistrat' (signed 'Hamm'), date '1. Dezember 1921', and a serial number in bold typeface. A silhouette skyline of Recklinghausen runs along the lower margin. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse printed in brown and cream tones, dominated by a large arched architectural frame rendered in a brick-pattern surround reminiscent of a Romanesque arcade. Within the arch, a central vignette depicts a penitent kneeling figure in robes before a standing ecclesiastical figure set beneath a Gothic pointed arch, with a crucifix visible to the right — an illustration referencing a local historical or religious narrative. Below the figurative vignette, a rectangular text panel in Gothic Fraktur script carries a multi-line inscription concluding with the word 'Finis'. An artist's signature appears at the lower right of the inner vignette. |

Recklinghausen's 1921 notgeld issue belongs to the second wave of German municipal emergency currency — by this point, the Reichsbank's coin shortage had persisted for years, and cities across the Ruhr were printing their own fractional notes with little central oversight. Recklinghausen was a coal town, its economy tied entirely to the mines running beneath it, and local administration was lean. The single "Hamm" signature almost certainly refers to a municipal official rather than a banker — a detail that underscores how far paper-money authority had devolved from any financial institution.
The 100 × 70 mm format was widely adopted for notgeld of this denomination class simply because it minimized paper waste across a standard print sheet.
