Diamond-shaped corner pieces each contain the numeral '20', flanked by vertical text panels bearing the note's conditions of validity in small Gothic script. The red typeset serial number 'Serie H Nr.' appears at the foot of the note. |

Apolda was a small Thuringian industrial town best known for its knitting mills and, later, the Dobermann breed — not a financial center by any stretch. The 20 Mark note issued by its Stadtkasse in 1918 belongs to the vast wave of municipal Notgeld that flooded Germany as the imperial monetary system buckled under wartime strain. Local treasuries were authorized to issue emergency paper to address acute coin shortages, and hundreds of towns did exactly that.
The perforation security feature is modest but deliberate — a low-cost measure against counterfeiting at a time when sophisticated printing infrastructure was largely unavailable to small municipalities.
