| Obverse description | The face is set against an overall guilloche underprint in beige and grey tones with a repeated floral rosette pattern. At centre, a large Fraktur inscription reads 'Zwanzig Reichsmark' below the heading 'Stadt Stuttgart / Gutschein über', with the denomination numeral '20' in bold at upper left and upper right. A grey watermark-style vignette of the Stuttgart Württemberg horse rampant appears as a central underprint, while a circular red official seal of the City of Stuttgart is affixed at lower left; the text below notes redeemability at all savings banks and commercial banks within the Stuttgart city district, an expiry date of 31 March 1946, the issue date of 1 May 1945, and the title of the Lord Mayor ('Der Oberbürgermeister') above a manuscript signature. The series designation 'REIHE 1' and serial number appear in red at lower right, with a counterfeiting warning at lower left. |
