10 Pfennig

Triebes, Hohenleuben, and Langenwetzendorf are three small Thuringian towns that pooled resources to issue this Notgeld jointly — an arrangement that was administratively unusual even by the improvised standards of 1921 German emergency currency. The chronic coin shortage that followed the First World War pushed hundreds of municipalities into paper, but multi-community joint issues at this scale of denomination were comparatively rare.

Otto Henning A.G. in Greiz handled a substantial volume of regional Notgeld printing for Thuringia during this period, which kept costs low enough to make such small-denomination issues viable.
