| Beschrijving keerzijde | Green and black letterpress note with a wavy guilloche border framing a large central vignette executed in a woodcut-inspired illustrative style, depicting the capture of Kunz von Kauffungen by charcoal burners in a dense forest setting near Fürstenberg bei Grünhain on 14 July 1455; an armoured figure lies at lower left while standing figures restrain the kidnapper with a pole. A rhyming couplet in Fraktur script runs above the vignette as a caption, and a two-line historical legend in Fraktur is set within a ruled panel below the image. |

Grünhain is a small town in the Erzgebirge, and its municipal council — the Stadtgemeinderat — issued this note as Kriegsgeld, the emergency paper money that proliferated across German municipalities after metallic coinage effectively vanished from circulation following the outbreak of war in 1914. By 1917 the shortage was acute enough that even minor administrative bodies were authorized to issue low-denomination scrip to keep local commerce functioning.
Wiedemannsche Druckerei AG in Saalfeld was a regional commercial printer, not a specialist security firm, which makes the presence of a watermark here worth noting — a modest but deliberate concession to fraud prevention in what was otherwise utilitarian wartime production.
