| Beschrijving voorzijde | Tan-toned notgeld on a floral underprint ground, enclosed within a decorative black border with ornamental corner devices. At the top, the Gothic-script legend 'Kreis Erkelenz' flanks the district arms — a shield charged with a lion above a six-pointed star, surmounted by a mural crown — with the date '1917' split either side. The large denomination numeral '10 Pfennig' in bold blackletter type dominates the centre, below which a typeset serial number appears; the lower portion carries a multi-line redemption text in German, the place-and-date line 'Erkelenz, den 31. August 1917', the issuing authority legend 'Der Kreis-Ausschuß des Kreises Erkelenz', and three manuscript facsimile signatures. |

Erkelenz is a small Rhineland district that issued this Notgeld in 1917 under the authority of its Kreisausschuss — the elected district committee — as the wartime metal shortage made small-denomination coinage effectively disappear from everyday commerce. The Kreis, not the Reich, was left to solve the problem locally, which is why hundreds of such district-level issues proliferated across Germany from 1916 onward.
The Merkelbacher reference suggests thin documentation for this specific issue, which is not unusual for minor Rhineland Notgeld — many were printed in small runs by local jobbing printers and survived only in scattered collector holdings.
