| 背面描述 | The reverse carries a multicolour lithographic panoramic vignette of the town of Monschau, rendered in an Art Nouveau illustrative style with slate-roofed burgher houses, church spires, and the medieval hilltop castle ruin set against wooded hillsides. Vertical side panels bear repeated text underprints reading 'MONSCHAU' and '25'. A two-line verse in Gothic script runs below the vignette, with the header 'Gutschein der 25 Stadt Monschau' inscribed at the top incorporating a circular medallion with the numeral '25'. |

Monschau — known until 1918 as Aachen — issued this Notgeld during the severe small-change shortage that gripped the Rhineland in the early Weimar years. The border town had particular reason for instability: the Versailles settlement left it uncomfortably close to the Belgian occupation zone, and local municipal finance was under strain from both reparations disruption and the broader collapse of confidence in Reichsbank coin circulation.
Lütkens is credited as designer, a name appearing across several Rhenish Notgeld issues of the period. Whether this was a local commission or a shared plate design adapted for Monschau specifically is not firmly established.
