| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Yellow and black letterpress Notgeld note on cream paper, with a decorative green guilloche border framing the entire face. The upper portion carries a silhouette vignette of the Freiberg city skyline against a yellow sky, with the denomination spelled out in Gothic script as 'Siebenundneunzig Pfennig' above. The lower half displays the large numeral '97' in yellow, flanked by two crossed-hammer mining emblems in circular cartouches, with issuing authority text and the facsimile signature of Oberbürgermeister Haupt below. Two perforated coupon stubs (1 Pfennig in red and 2 Pfennig in yellow) are attached to the right, together completing the 1 Mark face value. |

A bold yellow banner scroll across the top carries the denomination 'Siebenundneunzig Pfennig' in Gothic lettering, and the large numeral '97 Pf.' appears at lower right. The foot of the note bears the printer's imprint, and a redemption clause runs along the lower margin.

| Anmerkungen |
Freiberg's 1921 emergency currency belongs to the vast wave of German Notgeld produced during the postwar inflationary spiral, when municipal authorities across the country were forced to print their own small-denomination notes to plug the shortage of circulating coinage. The Stadtrat commissioned Ernst Lange's lithographic works locally — an unusually short supply chain even by Notgeld standards, with issuer and printer sharing the same mining town.
Freiberg had been a silver-mining center since the 12th century, which gives a certain irony to its council issuing paper substitutes for metal coin.
