| 正面描述 | Kassenschein (cash note) printed in black on a light grey guilloche underprint, with the denomination '20' repeated in the upper corners and the title 'Zwanzig Mark' in large Gothic blackletter script across the upper portion. The body of the note carries a multi-line German text issued by the Gouvernements-Hauptkasse in Windhoek, dated 6. August 1913, with the printed title 'Der Kaiserliche Gouverneur' above a manuscript signature. A validity clause reading 'Zur Gültigkeit muß dem Kassenschein der Reichsadler in großer Form aufgedruckt sein.' appears in the lower right, referencing the required Imperial Eagle overprint; vertical text in Gothic script runs along the left margin. |

Issued in the final weeks of German colonial authority in South West Africa, this note was produced locally in Windhoek under genuine emergency conditions — not by a metropolitan printing house. The Kaiserliche Gouvernement resorted to improvised paper currency after the outbreak of war cut off access to normal financial channels. Seitz signed as Imperial Governor; he surrendered the territory to South African forces in July 1915, making the entire series one of the shortest-lived colonial emissions in German imperial history.
The overprint security feature reflects the ad hoc nature of production. Paper, press, and authorization were all local.
