Original 1921 German 50 Pfennig Notgeld issued by the city of Weißenfels an der Saale.
This colorful local emergency-money note highlights Weißenfels’ historic shoemaking industry. The reverse shows:
* Herrenschuh 1720 — men’s shoe, 1720 * Damenschuh 1820 — women’s shoe, 1820 * A domestic scene in the center with a humorous verse related to shoes and everyday life.
The front features the Weißenfels city coat of arms, the 50 Pfennig denomination, and states that the note remained valid for four weeks after an official declaration of invalidity. Dealer archives identify this exact design as part of Weißenfels’ 1921 shoemaking-themed Notgeld series.
