| Obverse description | Violet and purple Kriegsnotgeld note dominated by a central diamond-shaped vignette in black ink bearing the denomination '10' and the Gothic-script inscription 'Stadt Sparkasse Bielefeld'. The surrounding field is covered with a dense typographic underprint listing wartime wage statistics, framed by a decorative guilloche border with repeating foliate motifs at the corners. Two small silhouette vignettes of workers appear at the lower left and right of the central diamond, with the issuing authority text and dual manuscript signatures of the Magistrat Bielefeld dated 1.x.1919 below. |
