Beschrijving voorzijde Tan-brown notgeld note with an ornate baroque scroll and acanthus-leaf border framing the central design.

Flanking text in Fraktur script runs vertically along both side margins, with the issuing authority 'Der Magistrat', place name 'Kellinghusen', date 'den 6. Aug. 1920', and a manuscript signature at lower right; the inscription 'Stadt Kellinghusen' appears across the bottom within a decorative cartouche.

Opmerkingen

Kellinghusen is a small town in Holstein, and its magistrate issued this note during the acute small-change famine that gripped Germany in 1920 as metal coinage disappeared from circulation. The H. J. J. Hay press was a local printer — not a security firm — which is precisely what makes Notgeld from municipal issuers like this so easy to counterfeit in principle and so charmingly local in practice. Hay printed for the town it operated within, using whatever stock was available.

Thousands of German municipalities did the same between 1918 and 1921, but most contracted larger regional printers. A note produced and issued within the same small town by a commercial jobbing printer is about as hyperlocal as this series gets.
