| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in rose-red and black on cream paper, with a decorative border of repeated lace-like guilloche motifs framing the entire note. A central vignette presents a panoramic townscape of Herzberg an der Elster, with a prominent church steeple rising above rooftops and foliage, rendered in a fine illustrative style; in the foreground, a stag stands before ornate scrollwork cartouches. The denomination numeral '10' appears in large bold black figures at upper left and upper right, flanked by the word 'Pfennig' in Gothic script, with the issuing authority inscription split across the lower portion of the design. |

| Opmerkingen |
Herzberg am Harz issued this Notgeld piece during the wave of municipal emergency currency that swept Germany in 1920, when chronic small-coin shortages — caused by metal hoarding and the collapse of pre-war monetary norms — forced thousands of towns to print their own fractional notes. The Magistrat had legal authority to issue these under the permissive framework that regional governments quietly tolerated rather than formally sanctioned.
Most Herzberg Notgeld circulated briefly and locally, redeemed once coin supply normalized. The paper composition made survival rates uneven.
