| Beschrijving voorzijde | Black letterpress on light grey paper. The upper portion carries an ornate horizontal band with the Gothic-script inscription 'Gutschein der Stadt Eisleben' flanked by the denomination numeral '10' in guilloche-bordered cartouches at each corner. A central vignette presents the elaborately engraved municipal coat of arms of Eisleben surmounted by a crested helm, set within the denomination panel reading 'Zehn Pfennig' in bold Fraktur type. Below, a text block gives the redemption clause dated 'Eisleben, den 1. Juni 1917', followed by the issuing authority line 'Der Magistrat' with two manuscript signatures, and a further forfeiture notice at the foot; the printer's imprint 'Adolf Forker, Leipzig' appears at the base. |

| Opmerkingen |
Eisleben's 1917 emergency municipal issues belong to the first large wave of German Kleingeldersatz — substitute small change — that flooded local circulation after coin hoarding stripped copper and nickel from everyday commerce. The Magistrat, like hundreds of other town administrations that year, was effectively forced into the currency business by a metals shortage driven by wartime procurement demands, not by any banking authority or monetary planning.
Adolf Forker was a Leipzig commercial printer with no particular specialty in securities work, which shows in the utilitarian execution of this series. The paper itself has proven prone to edge fraying in circulated examples.
