| Beschrijving voorzijde | Panoramic townscape vignette of Rastenberg runs across the upper portion of the note in fine black line engraving. At centre, the elaborately rendered municipal coat of arms displays a standing armoured knight within a heraldic shield, flanked by ornate baroque scrollwork and surmounted by a ribbon cartouche bearing a Latin inscription. The denomination '10 Pf.' appears in bold red Gothic numerals at left and right, with validity text in Gothic script at lower left and issuing authority, date, and a facsimile Bürgermeister signature at lower right; the legend 'Notgeld der Stadt Rastenberg' is set in large Gothic blackletter across the foot of the note. |

| Opmerkingen |
Rastenberg — a small market town in Thuringia — issued this note during the acute small-change shortage that swept German municipalities in the early 1920s. The Reichsbank's inability to keep low-denomination coins in circulation drove thousands of local authorities, businesses, and utilities to print their own Kleingeldersatz. Rastenberg's series was printed by Eduard Giltsch in Jena, a firm better known for scientific and academic illustration work — an unusual choice that likely reflects regional proximity rather than specialist currency printing expertise.
Notgeld of this size and denomination circulated hard and briefly. Most towns recalled and cancelled their issues within months once coin supply stabilized in 1922–23, which is why surviving examples in clean condition are the exception.
