| Reverse description | Central vignette presents a view of the barracks in Weimar as they appeared in 1806, flanked on each side by a soldier in the uniform of the Napoleonic Wars era. The composition is rendered in a period illustrative style consistent with the work of Georg Kötschau, with the date '1806' integrated into the design. The scene directly references the historical origins of the 94th Infantry Regiment. |

The Verein ehemaliger 94er was a veterans' association of the 4. Thüringisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 94, garrisoned at Jena before the war. Like dozens of similar regimental associations across Weimar Germany, they issued notgeld — here a 1 Mark note — primarily as collectibles and fundraising instruments during the inflationary chaos of 1921, not as emergency currency in the strict sense. Georg Kötschau, a Jena-based artist, handled the design.
The connection to Jena's university town milieu and the tight-knit nature of regimental associations meant these were produced in small numbers and distributed almost entirely within the membership.
