10 Pfennig

Jüterbog's 1920 Kleingeldscheine were issued to address the acute small-change shortage that paralyzed German retail commerce in the immediate postwar years — a crisis severe enough that hundreds of municipalities printed their own fractional notes rather than wait for Berlin to supply adequate coinage. The city sits in Brandenburg, historically notable as a garrison town and the site of Napoleon's 1813 defeat at the hands of Prussian and Swedish forces, though none of that military past has any bearing on why this note exists.

At 51 × 40.5 mm, it is among the smaller examples of the Notgeld format. Ten-Pfennig denominations were among the most heavily circulated and consequently the most worn.
