10 Pfennig

Weilburg's 1920 notgeld issue belongs to the second wave of municipal emergency money that flooded Germany after the Reichsbank's coin shortages became acute. The city sat on the Lahn river in Hessen-Nassau, a Prussian province with dozens of small towns each printing their own fractional currency during this period — Wetzlar, where Scharfes Druckereien operated, was itself a neighboring print center that handled contracts for several surrounding municipalities simultaneously.

Low-denomination notgeld at this level circulated hard and fast, often destroyed within months of redemption drives. Survivors in clean condition are more the exception than the rule.
