| Obverse description | Printed on salmon-orange paper in black letterpress, the note is designed as two separable 5-Pfennig coupons divided by a horizontal dashed perforation line, each half mirrored — the lower half inverted relative to the upper. Each half carries the denomination numeral '5' in large bold Gothic typeface at the corners, flanked by the word 'Pfennig' on either side, with a central circular vignette of an embossed municipal seal bearing a heraldic eagle and the inscription 'STADT-GEMEINDE QUEDLINBURG'. The heading 'Städtische Sparkasse Quedlinburg' appears in Gothic blackletter script at the top of the upper coupon, with the legend 'Gutschein' and 'Getrennt über 5 Pf.' flanking the central numeral '10' between the two halves. The entire note is framed by a decorative dashed border. |

| Comments |
Städtische Sparkasse Quedlinburg was one of hundreds of German municipal savings institutions that issued their own small-denomination Notgeld during the acute coin shortages of 1916–1922. These civic emergency issues were authorized locally, not by the Reichsbank, and the issuing authority bore full redemption responsibility — a liability many smaller towns quietly defaulted on once the hyperinflation peaked and the notes became worthless faster than they could be called in.
Quedlinburg's issues are not among the more elaborately printed Notgeld series. Collector demand for this specific note is modest.
