| Obverse description | Yellow-toned notgeld note with a bold red gothic inscription 'Stadt Rinteln' across the top. The central vignette presents the historic Rinteln town gate rendered in red brick, with the municipal coat of arms set within the arched gateway and two allegorical figures flanking the central tower above. Large blue numeral '10' appears twice at lower left and right, flanking a small oval medallion of Baron Hieronymus von Münchhausen with the legend 'Hieronymus von Münchhausen' on a scroll beneath. Validity clause and date 'Rinteln, im August 1920' appear in the lower portion, with two manuscript signatures and the designer credit 'ENTW. RUDOLF HILLEBRECHT' at bottom right. |

| Reverse description | Vividly coloured illustration in a humorous folk-art style, referencing the tall tales of Baron Münchhausen: the Baron, dressed in a red coat and tricorn hat, rides a horse that is sinking into a swamp up to its belly, while fantastical anthropomorphic flowers and vegetables populate the marshy foreground and a townscape with church steeples recedes into the background. The large blue numeral '10' is centred at the top, flanked by the German motto in two parts. The printer's imprint 'EDLER & KRISCHE, HANNOVER' appears in the lower margin. |
