| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Black letterpress on cream paper within a decorative border of scrolling foliate ornaments. The upper panel carries the bold Gothic inscription 'NOTGELD DER STADT' above a central circular vignette enclosing the arms of Zörbig — a shield surmounted by a winged cherub's head — surrounded by the legend 'KURATORIUM DER SPARKASSE DER STADT ZOERBIG · EINLÖSBAR BEI DER STADTSPARKASSE ZÖRBIG · BIS 20. SEPT. 1921'. The denomination '10' appears in large numerals in the left and right flanking panels, with 'ZÖRBIG' in bold Gothic type at foot and the Magistrat's manuscript signature to the lower right. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | Black ink illustration on cream paper within a dotted border, drawn by Hermann Schiebel of Bitterfeld and dated April 1921. The central vignette presents a detailed pen-and-ink rendering of a historic roadside monument — a baroque stele bearing a cartouche inscribed 'SUMPEO ET DIE' with an armorial device, set against a sky with clouds, flanked by stylised trees. An extensive German text inscription in period script fills the lower portion of the monument face, with two lines of German verse in italic script at the foot of the note reading 'Wo Anhalt grenzt an Zörbig an steht d. Denkmal d. Theuren Christian / Was er getan u. was er gewesen ist in obiger Inschrift zu lesen'. |

Zörbig is a small market town in what was then the Prussian province of Saxony, and its municipal administration — like hundreds of similar Gemeinden and Stadtverwaltungen across Germany — was forced into issuing its own fractional currency during the severe coin shortage that followed the First World War. The Kleingeldersatz notes of 1921 were a stopgap, not a monetary policy. H. F. Jütte of Leipzig was a prolific printer of this Notgeld material, producing runs for numerous municipalities simultaneously.
The designer credit to Hermann Schiebel of nearby Bitterfeld is the one detail worth preserving here — local artists were routinely commissioned for these small-town issues, and Schiebel's work for Zörbig is otherwise obscure.
