| 表面の説明 | At centre, a circular vignette carries the municipal arms of Ströbeck — a crowned eagle holding a chess piece — encircled by the legend GEMEINDE STRÖBECK, flanked at the upper corners by large gothic-script denomination numerals '25' set against a foliate underprint. Below the arms, two chess pieces flank a chessboard motif, alluding to the village's centuries-old chess tradition. The lower portion bears the voucher text in bold Fraktur letterpress, a manuscript signature above the printed title 'Der Gemeindevorstand', the validity date, a serial number at lower right, and the printer's imprint 'Himmer, Augsburg' at the foot. |

| 裏面の説明 | The reverse is divided into two circular vignettes set side by side within a dotted border and chequered outer frame, with denomination numerals '25' at each upper corner against a foliate underprint. The left vignette, executed in bold line-engraved style, illustrates the legendary scene of the Wendish count Guncelin — prisoner of Bishop Arnulf of Halberstadt — teaching chess to his guards in the tower of Ströbeck in 1011, with a narrative ribbon scroll beneath. The right vignette presents an inked illustration of the historic chess tower of Ströbeck amid trees and clouds, identified by the caption 'DER SCHACHTURM ZU STRÖBECK' on a banner below. |

Ströbeck is a village in the Harz region with a documented chess-playing tradition stretching back to at least the eleventh century — a curiosity unusual enough that it informed the local Notgeld series issued during the hyperinflationary crisis of the early 1920s. The municipality was one of hundreds of small German communities forced to print emergency scrip when coin shortages and currency instability made official tender functionally useless for everyday transactions.
J. P. Himmer in Augsburg handled a substantial volume of municipal Notgeld commissions during this period, supplying small issuers who lacked any local printing capacity. The chess theme made Ströbeck's issues collectible almost immediately — speculators and Notgeld collectors were already hoarding novelty pieces before the series even left circulation.
