Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse carries a detailed pictorial vignette printed in brown, occupying the full face of the note. At centre, the heraldic shield of Saulgau — wreathed in oak leaves and dated '1914' and '1915' at the top with the town name 'SAULGAU' above — is borne on a horse-drawn wagon, a German Iron Cross at its base. To the left, a crowd of townspeople and a mounted official accompany the procession; to the right, a field artillery piece with its crew is shown in action against a hilly landscape, evoking the wartime donation of church bells for the war effort. The denomination '10 Pfennig' is given in an oval cartouche at lower centre, and 'Zehn Pfennig' is inscribed at upper left and upper right. A patriotic couplet in blackletter script runs along the lower border.

Opmerkingen

Saulgau's wartime Notgeld issue is one of hundreds of near-identical municipal emergency scrip problems that swept Württemberg between 1918 and 1920, when the Reichsbank could no longer supply enough small-denomination coin to keep local commerce moving. Carl Grüninger Nachf. Ernst Klett was a well-established Stuttgart commercial printer with no particular numismatic pedigree — the firm took on Notgeld contracts as straightforward job printing, not prestige work.

The real story here is logistical, not artistic: Saulgau had roughly 3,500 inhabitants at the time, and the municipal government was essentially writing its own money on the assumption that local trust would hold long enough for the national currency situation to stabilize. It did, barely.
