| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is divided into two zones: on the left, a rectangular intaglio-style vignette illustrates the Pfalzgrafenstein castle rising from the Rhine river, rendered in fine pen-and-ink line work with billowing clouds above and rippling water below, signed by the artist E. Nikutowski in the lower margin. To the right, bold sans-serif block lettering in three stacked lines reads 'STADT CAUB / 25 / PFENNIG', with the numeral '25' given a guilloche-pattern fill. |

| Opmerkingen |
Kaub is the small Rhine town directly opposite the Pfalzgrafenstein toll fortress — one of the most strategically placed river choke points in Germany. That geography made Kaub famous enough to appear on postcards but never prosperous enough to escape the coin shortages that plagued small German municipalities after 1914. This note is Notgeld in the strict sense: a stopgap against hoarding, not a civic vanity project.
Gebrüder Parcus in Munich were among the more competent Notgeld printers of the period, handling commissions from dozens of Bavarian and Rhenish towns simultaneously. Their output was generally cleaner than the lithographic work coming out of smaller regional shops.
