The denomination '20 Pfg.' appears in bold Gothic numerals at each corner, while winged caduceus symbols flank the central vignette on left and right. A decorative ribbon banner below the vignette carries the issuer's name in two lines of Gothic script, and the printer's imprint 'J.C. König & Ebhardt, Hannover' is typeset in small roman capitals along the lower margin. |

| Comments |
The Mansfeld district, straddling the Gebirgs- and Seekreis administrative boundary in Saxony-Prussia, was copper-mining territory — an industry that had been grinding through labor unrest and postwar dislocation when this note appeared. The issuer was a cooperative purchasing association of local merchants, not a municipal authority or bank, which made this Notgeld a genuinely private commercial instrument rather than a civic emergency measure. J. C. König & Ebhardt of Hannover, primarily a stationery and printing house, turned out enormous volumes of small-denomination Notgeld during 1919–1921 for exactly these kinds of minor regional issuers.
