| Obverse description | The Reichsadler (Imperial Eagle) displayed with wings spread, facing left, with a crosshatched breast shield, rendered in a bold, sculpted style characteristic of Weimar-era coinage. The eagle stands with talons outstretched at the base of the design. The legend DEUTSCHES REICH curves along the upper periphery, with the date 1926 situated in the lower exergual area beneath the eagle. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
In 1926, the Reichsbank was evaluating coinage compositions following the currency stabilization achieved by the Rentenmark in 1923. Several pattern strikes were produced in alternative metals before final production decisions were made. This copper-nickel trial for the 50 Reichspfennig was never adopted — the circulating type was struck in aluminum-bronze — leaving pattern survivors in extremely limited numbers, most of which passed directly into institutional or specialist collections without ever approaching general circulation.
