| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Notgeld issued in brown and ochre tones on a stippled ground, enclosed within a double-rule border with black corner chevrons. The central vignette presents a Romanesque arched portal with ornately decorated columns, through which stands a full-length figure of a medieval nobleman or margrave holding a torch or sceptre; a castle or fortified structure is visible in the arch above. The denomination numeral '25' appears in bold letterpress at left and right flanking the vignette, with the validity clause and date 'Gernrode-Harz, den 9. Mai 1921' to the lower right, alongside a manuscript signature of the Magistrat. |

Gernrode is a small spa town in the eastern Harz, best known for the Stiftskirche St. Cyriakus — one of the most complete Ottonian churches surviving in Germany. Its municipal authority nonetheless found itself issuing emergency currency in 1921, a necessity driven not by wartime disruption but by the chronic small-coin shortage that plagued the early Weimar Republic as inflation began hollowing out the metal coinage.
Louis Koch of Halberstadt handled a considerable volume of Notgeld contracts for smaller Harz municipalities during this period, producing workmanlike regional issues on tight schedules.
