| Beschrijving voorzijde | Brown and blue letterpress Notgeld note with a tripartite layout. The upper legend reads 'Lähn im Riesengebirge' in Gothic script, flanking a central vignette of a peasant girl surrounded by doves in flight — the so-called 'Taubengustel', the heraldic emblem of Lähn — executed in fine illustrative style with artists' names 'Heinz' and 'Schiestl' noted in the lower cartouches. Denomination panels at left and right each display '1 Mr' within blue-accented octagonal frames, with a ribbon banner below reading 'DIE TAUBENGUSTEL, DAS WAHRZEICHEN VON LÄHN'; the lower portion carries the issuing text, the value 'EINE MARK', place name 'Lähn i. Riesengeb.' with series letter 'M', and a serial number at lower left, with the printer's imprint 'FLEMMING-WISKOTT-A.-G.-GLOGAU' below the border. |

| Opmerkingen |
Städtische Sparkasse Lähn im Riesengebirge was one of hundreds of municipal savings banks that issued notgeld during the acute coin shortage that gripped Germany from roughly 1916 onward. Lähn itself — now Wleń, in Lower Silesia — was a small market town in the Riesengebirge foothills, and its savings bank had neither the standing nor the volume to warrant a major printing contract. Carl Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau was the logical choice: a regional commercial printer with the equipment and proximity to service exactly these kinds of small municipal accounts efficiently.
