| Beschrijving keerzijde | Cream-ground note with a pale green ornamental scroll-pattern border framing the entire field. A large central oval vignette, bordered by a fine scalloped ring, presents a nocturnal winter landscape in dark brown intaglio-style line work: wolves and foxes move through a snow-covered clearing before a moonlit sky and dense forest. The denomination numeral '25' is printed in bold at both upper corners. A two-part historical inscription in Gothic script runs around the inner border of the oval, referencing the destruction and abandonment of Menteroda between 1523 and 1553. |

Menteroda is a small Thuringian mining settlement, and its 1921 Notgeld issue belongs to the enormous wave of municipal emergency currency that German local authorities printed after the Reichsbank could no longer supply adequate small-denomination coinage during the postwar inflation spiral. Chr. Gerlach of Mühlhausen was a regional printer who handled Notgeld contracts for several Thuringian communities in this period — competent provincial work, nothing more.
Designer Th. Weinauge is otherwise unattested in major Notgeld literature, which is not unusual; many local commissions went to commercial artists whose names appear on a handful of issues and nowhere else.
