| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in steel-blue and black on white paper, centred on a large oval guilloche vignette carrying the bold numeral '25' over a fine wavy-line underprint. The oval is enclosed within a circular band bearing the legend 'STADT · ALZEY' at the top and 'PFENNIG' at the bottom, flanked on each side by a six-pointed star ornament. Elaborately engraved foliate scrollwork fills each corner of the rectangular border, lending the design a stamp-like quality typical of German Notgeld issues. |

| Opmerkingen |
Alzey is a small Rhenish town in what is now Rhineland-Palatinate, and its municipal notgeld emerged from the acute coin shortage that gripped Germany between 1916 and the early 1920s. Hundreds of German towns issued their own emergency fractional currency during this period; Alzey was one of the smaller municipalities to do so, which tends to make its pieces harder to track in quantity today.
Paper notgeld at the 25 Pfennig denomination was purely a stopgap for small transactions, issued against the city's credit rather than any central banking authority. No Reichsbank backing, no redemption guarantee beyond the issuer's word.
