| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in the same deep blue tone and presents a wide scenic vignette across the full width of the note, showing a bishop's procession — identified as Burko von Halberstadt — passing through a Gothic cathedral portal, flanked by townspeople and city architecture including a church tower at left and a fortified tower at right. The denomination '10' appears in numerals at lower left and lower right, with the city name 'Halberstadt a/H.' centred below the main vignette. Inscribed banderoles above and below the central scene carry identifying and civic legends. |

| Comments |
Halberstadt's 1921 notgeld issues were produced during the acute small-change shortage that followed Germany's postwar coin hoarding crisis — silver and copper had largely vanished from circulation, forcing hundreds of municipalities to commission their own emergency fractional currency. Louis Koch was a local Halberstadt printer, which makes this note unusual among notgeld: many comparable issues were farmed out to larger specialist houses in Leipzig or Berlin, but Halberstadt kept production in-house.
