The title inscription 'NOTGELD DER STADT' appears to the left of the arms in bold letterpress, with 'EUTIN' to the right. Two verse couplets in German script are printed on scroll-like banners across the upper portion of the note.

| Comments |
Eutin was a small ducal seat in Holstein, and by 1920 the German small-change crisis — the so-called Kleingeldnot — had forced hundreds of municipalities to issue their own emergency money. The Stadt Eutin note is one of four sub-variants catalogued under DeNG 0359.1a, differentiated by serial prefix and, in some cases, minor typographical differences in the authorization text. Gebrüder Borchers in Lübeck handled a great deal of regional Notgeld work from Schleswig-Holstein municipalities during this period, making their output competent but hardly scarce in absolute printing terms.
Condition is the real variable here. Municipal Notgeld was often handled carelessly once the immediate shortage passed, and the 1920 redemption window for most Holstein issues was short.
