Teil' flanked by a two-part quotation from the text in Gothic script. The denomination 'Zehn Pfg.' appears in bold white letterpress across the lower central field, above a text panel bearing the issuing authority, date, serial number in red, and the Gemeindevorsteher's signature. |

Schierke is a small resort town in the Harz mountains, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921, it issued notgeld not primarily out of necessity but as a deliberate revenue source. Collectors across Germany were actively buying and hoarding attractive local notgeld issues, and many towns — Schierke included — exploited that market by commissioning appealing regional designs from local printers. Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a regional press serving this exact demand across the surrounding area.
The speculative notgeld boom was largely over by late 1922, when hyperinflation made small-denomination paper issues pointless.
