| Beschrijving voorzijde | The centre vignette presents a full-length statue of Aloys Senefelder, inventor of lithography, set within a large oval wreath of oak and laurel rendered in brown tones. The denomination '20 Pfennig' appears in bold blackletter at upper left and right, flanking the central design, while a scroll banner above the statue carries the inscription identifying Senefelder as the inventor of lithography. At lower left, a cartouche in Gothic script states the redemption pledge of the Gemeindekasse Solnhofen, and at lower right the issuing authority, date, and facsimile signatures of municipal officials are recorded, with the town name 'Solnhofen' in large blackletter across the bottom panel. |

Solnhofen is a small Bavarian village whose name is inseparable from the lithographic limestone quarried there — the same formation that yielded the first Archaeopteryx fossil in 1861. Whether that local celebrity informed the choice of Louis Koch in Halberstadt as printer is unknown, but Koch was a minor regional notgeld printer working through the inflationary chaos of the early Weimar years, when hundreds of German municipalities issued their own emergency small change after coins disappeared from circulation entirely.
Louis Koch's Halberstadt output is modestly documented and rarely turns up in specialist literature. Solnhofen's issues are among the more obscure from the Bavarian notgeld corpus.
