| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse of this German Notgeld note presents the denomination '25 Pfennig' in bold letterpress type within a simply framed layout typical of wartime emergency currency. The issuing authority inscription references the City of Düsseldorf, with the year 1918 integrated into the text panel. The overall design is utilitarian, with minimal ornamentation consistent with the austerity of First World War municipal issues. |

| Opmerkingen |
Düsseldorf's 1918 emergency municipal issue belongs to the vast wave of Notgeld that flooded Germany when the Reichsbank's coin supply collapsed under wartime metal requisitioning. Cities, towns, and even individual businesses were legally permitted — then effectively forced — to print their own small-denomination substitutes, creating one of the most fragmented parallel currency systems any industrialised nation has experienced.
Municipal Notgeld of this period is extraordinarily common in bulk but genuinely scarce in specific issuer-denomination-date combinations, particularly for notes that saw hard daily use rather than speculative hoarding by collectors, which became rampant by 1920–1921.
