| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a deep dark blue and orange two-color scheme with a bold graphic industrial vignette set within a large oval frame at center, showing a factory complex with multiple tall smokestacks rendered in a stark expressionist silhouette against a vertically lined background. The lateral borders carry stacked oval and circular medallions with chandelier and lamp motifs echoing the obverse, while two patriotic verse inscriptions occupy the upper and lower horizontal bands in block lettering separated by ornamental bullet points. A small artist's signature 'J. Tressel' appears at lower right of the central vignette. |

| Comments |
Neheim an der Ruhr, a Westphalian industrial town on the Möhne River, issued this Notgeld note during the acute small-change shortage that swept Germany from 1914 onward, as hoarding stripped metal coinage from circulation almost immediately after mobilization. Municipal authorities across the Reich stepped into the vacuum, printing their own emergency fractions with varying degrees of official oversight.
The Stadt Neheim series is unlisted in several major Notgeld references, which makes attribution to a specific printer difficult. Neheim itself was later absorbed into Arnsberg district consolidations — a detail that occasionally causes confusion in provenance documentation.
