| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Black and gold Notgeld voucher on cream paper with a lightly printed text underprint repeating 'Ballenstedt' and related legends across the field. The large Gothic-script title 'Gutschein' arches across the upper portion on a bold black banner, flanked by sprigs of fir in the upper corners. A circular coin-like vignette at centre displays the denomination numeral '10', with the validity clause to its left and the issuing location 'Ballenstedt i/H.' with date '28. Sept. 1920' to its right; the lower black band carries the town name 'Ballenstedt im Ost-Harz' in prominent gold Gothic lettering. A manuscript signature of the Magistrat official appears at lower right. |

| Anmerkungen |
Ballenstedt is a small Anhalt town best known as the residence of the Askanier dynasty, but in 1920 its municipal magistrate was dealing with a far more pressing problem: the acute small-change shortage that afflicted nearly every German locality in the immediate postwar years. This Kleingeldersatz note — emergency fractional currency issued locally to substitute for hoarded coins — was one of thousands of such issues printed across Germany between 1918 and 1922.
Municipal Notgeld at the 10 Pfennig level was typically printed in short runs and redeemed quickly, which makes intact survivors more common in collector sets than in genuinely circulated condition.
