| Opschrift voorzijde | 1 Mark Notgeld der Stadt Rothenburg o/Tauber Rothenburg 24. Juni Der Stadtrat. 1921 |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is likewise tripartite, printed in the same teal and ochre palette. The flanking panels each contain a '1 Mark Notgeld' cartouche above a large allegorical figure rendered in a Jugendstil manner: on the left a robed figure clasping a cross, on the right a seated figure with a key and sword, both resting in a languid, recumbent pose suggestive of slumbering virtues. The central panel holds a framed German verse in Gothic script, with the issuing city name 'Rothenburg o/T' in a rectangular tablet at the foot; redemption and validity inscriptions appear in the lower left and lower right panels respectively. |

| Opmerkingen |
Rothenburg ob der Tauber was among hundreds of German municipalities forced into emergency currency production during the postwar inflationary spiral — the Reichsmark-denominated Notgeld of 1921 filled the gap left by hoarded coin and an overwhelmed central banking system. What distinguishes this particular series is the involvement of Adolf Hosse, a graphic artist whose work gave Rothenburg's Notgeld unusual coherence compared to the rushed, often amateurish output of comparable towns.
A print run exceeding twelve million for a single note from a town with a few thousand inhabitants tells its own story about velocity of circulation during this period.
