10 Pfennig

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.
