| Beschrijving keerzijde | The entire reverse is occupied by a bold expressionist vignette in green, red, and black illustrating a scene from Goethe's Faust: a red-skinned Mephistopheles strides energetically through a rocky Harz mountain landscape alongside a dark-cloaked Faust. A red-orange inscription panel at upper left contains a quotation attributed to Mephistopheles, while the denomination '10 Pfg.' in red and the artist's name 'F. Jüttner' appear at lower right; the imprint lines 'Brocken (Harz) 1142 m. R. Schade' and 'Appelhans, Braunschweig' run in small type along the bottom margin. |

The Brocken summit inn issued this 10 Pfennig note in 1921, when Germany's acute small-change shortage left private businesses — hotels, mines, transit companies — filling the gap with their own emergency paper. The Brockenwirt's Notgeld is among the more unusual examples of this phenomenon: a mountain inn at 1,141 meters issuing circulating scrip, redeemable presumably only by those who had made the climb or taken the narrow-gauge Brockenbahn to the top.
Appelhans Verlag in Braunschweig printed substantial quantities of regional Notgeld during this period and handled the design work with more craft than most. F. Jüttner's involvement places this in a recognizable strain of Harz-region tourist Notgeld that straddled emergency currency and collectible souvenir. Rudolph Schade signed as innkeeper-issuer.
