10 Pfennig Städtische Straßenbahn Mönchengladbach, Rheydt, Vereinigte Städtebahn

Issued by the municipal tram authority serving Mönchengladbach and Rheydt jointly, this note belongs to the vast flood of Kleingeldersatz — small-change substitutes — that German municipalities, transit operators, and local businesses produced during the post-WWI coin shortage. The "Vereinigte Städtebahn" designation reflects the operational merger of the two neighboring city tramways, which were administratively distinct despite running largely contiguous routes. J. C. König & Ebhardt of Hannover, a reputable commercial printer with a long history in securities and official documents, handled the production — quality above what most Notgeld of this type received.
