| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in tan-brown and black with polychrome colour accents. A central octagonal vignette presents a landscape view of Camburg an der Saale, with a river in the foreground, lush green tree-lined banks, red-roofed houses and a tower visible in the background under a cloudy sky. Elaborate Art Nouveau foliate scroll underprints fill the left and right margins. The denomination 'Zehn Pfennig' is lettered in bold Gothic script across the top, split either side of the central vignette, while 'Camburg a. d. Saale' appears in large Gothic lettering along the lower margin. A fine dotted rule frames the entire composition. |

| Comments |
Camburg an der Saale — a small town on the Thuringian Saale — issued this note during the acute coin shortage that followed Germany's postwar economic disruption. Municipalities across Germany were printing their own Kleingeldersatz in enormous numbers by 1921, and Louis Koch of Halberstadt was one of dozens of provincial printers kept busy supplying them. Koch printed for multiple Thuringian and Saxony issuers during this period, which makes attributing specific print runs to individual towns straightforward when the printer's imprint survives clearly.
Camburg had a population of only a few thousand at the time. Low original print runs and high attrition through everyday use make surviving examples less common than equivalent notes from larger nearby issuers.
