| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed entirely in golden-tan ink on a cream ground, with a dense repeating text underprint of 'PfennigeStadtCrefeld Fünfzig' running in horizontal rows across the full surface. At centre, a large vignette of the Crefeld municipal coat of arms — a quartered shield surmounted by a royal crown and set within elaborate scrollwork — is overprinted in the same warm tone. The denomination numeral '50' appears in guilloche-style cartouches flanking the shield, and the issuer name 'Stadt Crefeld' is inscribed in large Gothic script arching above the arms. |

| Opmerkingen |
Krefeld's 1917 municipal emergency money belongs to the first serious wave of German Kleingeldersatz — the substitution coinage crisis that hit in 1916–17 as metal hoarding stripped small change from everyday transactions. Cities, towns, utilities, and private firms were authorized to print their own fractional paper, and thousands did. Most Notgeld from this period was purely functional: printed locally on whatever press was available, with no particular ambition.
The underprint is the one concession to anti-counterfeiting — a low-cost measure widely adopted by issuing municipalities that lacked access to more sophisticated security printing.
