| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in black on salmon-pink guilloche underprint, the note is divided into three vertical panels. The wide central panel carries a bold silhouette vignette of Quedlinburg's collegiate church rising from a rocky outcrop with dramatic radiating sunburst lines above, beneath which the issuer inscription reads 'Notgeld der Stadt Quedlinburg' in heavy Gothic letterpress. The left panel bears the denomination '50 Pfennig' and the validity text in blackletter script, dated July 1921, with a serial number in the lower left; the right panel repeats the denomination and states the expiry condition, with a manuscript signature of the Magistrat below. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Executed in the Scherenschnitt (paper-cut silhouette) technique by artist Walter Heege of Naumburg, the central vignette portrays a striding male figure in bold black silhouette against a background of trees with birds in flight, numbered '3' below the image. The flanking vertical panels are filled with intricate black silhouette borders of birds and foliage, each centred on a printed crown device in brown. A green Gothic-script legend runs across the lower margin below the central scene, and the printer's credit line appears at the very foot of the note. |

Quedlinburg's 1921 Notgeld issue belongs to the peak years of German municipal emergency currency, when thousands of towns printed their own small-denomination scrip to compensate for a catastrophic shortage of official coinage. The Ratsdruckerei R. Dulce in Glauchau handled a considerable volume of provincial Notgeld commissions during this period, and the engagement of Walter Heege — a Naumburg-based designer — reflects the common practice of sourcing artistic work regionally rather than from the major printing houses.
Quedlinburg itself held particular historical weight as the burial site of Henry the Fowler and Otto I, and as home to one of the most significant Ottonian abbeys in Germany. Whether Heege drew on that in his design is catalogued elsewhere. What matters here is the Dulce imprint and the DeNG 2#1087.4 reference, which places this within a documented series for the municipality.
