| Beschrijving voorzijde | Plain salmon-pink note with a simple typeset layout on undecorated paper; small guilloche-style numeral vignettes appear in each upper corner. The issuing authority is named at the top in Gothic blackletter script, followed by a redemption clause in roman type and the denomination stated twice — once in spelled-out Gothic lettering as 'Fünfundzwanzig Pfennig.' and once in bold numerals as '25 Pfennig.' The invalidity date of 31 March 1921 is printed at the foot, with the printer's imprint 'Bodenheim u. Co Allendorf/Werra' in small italic type below. |

Allendorf an der Werra is a small market town in Hesse, and like hundreds of similar municipalities across Germany in 1919, it found itself printing its own emergency currency because Reichsbank notes had largely vanished from everyday transactions — hoarded, destroyed, or absorbed into the inflationary chaos following the armistice. The printer here, Bodenheim u. Co., was a local firm, which is exactly what you'd expect: Notgeld at this denomination level was almost always a hyperlocal production, with quality to match.
The official stamp serves as the primary authentication device — a telling sign of just how improvised the whole system was.
