Summary[edit]

Description
Deutsch: 50 Pfennig Notgeldschein der Stadt Potsdam vom 28. November 1921, RS: Darstellung eines Reiteroffiziers des Preußischen Kürassier-Regiments Nr. 8. Die Darstellung ist als eine Verhöhnung des Militarismus im Kaiserreich zu verstehen, deshalb ist das Regiment mit seinem wenig schmeichelhaften Spitznamen „Mehlsäcke“ genannt, Maße: 96 mm x 65 mm.
English: 50 Pfennig Notgeld banknote issued by the town of Potsdam, Nov. 28, 1921, RV: A cavalry officer of the 8th (Rhenish) Cuirassiers Regiment. The banknote has to be considered as a mockery of the militarism in the German Empire, as the regiment is titled with its derogatory nickname "Mehlsäcke" (flour sacks), size: 96 mm x 65 mm.
Español: Billete de 50 Pfennig Notgeld emitido el 28 de noviembre de 1921 por la ciudad alemana de Potsdam. Reverso: Un oficial de caballería del 8º Regimiento de Coraceros (renano), "Graf Geßler". El billete puede considerarse como una burla del militarismo en el Imperio alemán, ya que el regimiento se titula con su despectivo apodo "Mehlsäcke" (sacos de harina). Tamaño: 96 mm x 65 mm.
Polski: Banknot Notgeld o nominale 50 fenigów wyemitowany przez miasto Poczdam 28 listopada 1921 roku. Na odwrotnej stronie banknotu przedstawiony jest kawalerzysta z 8. regimentu kirasjerów reńskich. Należy to uznać za kpinę z militaryzmu Cesarstwa Niemieckiego, ponieważ regiment został nazwany niepochlebnym przydomkiem Mehlsäcke (worki z mąką). Wymiary: 96 mm × 65 mm.
Українська: Випущено 100 років тому: банкнота 50 пфенігів Нотгельд у місті Потсдам, 28 листопада 1921 року. RV: офіцер кавалерії 8-го (ренського) Кірасирського полку. Банкноту слід розглядати як знущання над мілітаризмом у Німецькій імперії, оскільки полк названий принизливим прізвиськом "Mehlsäcke" (мішки з борошном).
