| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in multicolour letterpress and centres on a detailed architectural vignette of Schloss Friedewald, a Renaissance manor house set amid trees, with industrial structures — a colliery headframe and factory chimneys — visible to either side, evoking the district's mixed rural and industrial character. Circular guilloche panels in the upper corners each bear the denomination 25 Pf in red Gothic numerals. A lower scroll cartouche carries the place-name Altenkirchen / Wester-Wald and the year 1921 in red, with the printer's imprint along the bottom margin. |

| Opmerkingen |
Altenkirchen's 1921 notgeld issue was a product of the acute coin shortage that gripped Germany following the First World War — silver had been hoarded, base metal coinage melted or stockpiled, and municipal authorities across the country were left to paper over the gap themselves. The Kreisausschuss, the administrative committee of the Westerwald district, commissioned Albert Fastenrath's graphic art house in Elberfeld, a firm known for quality regional notgeld work rather than mass-produced emergency scrip.
Fastenrath's Elberfeld operation produced notgeld for numerous Rhenish and Westphalian issuers during this period, and the print quality tends to be noticeably above the rough lithography common to smaller municipal issues.
