| 裏面の説明 | Green-toned reverse with a mottled underprint ground, the four corners each bearing a white cartouche with the numeral '25' above 'PFENNIG' in red and dark brown letterpress. The central vignette, enclosed within a circular laurel wreath border, shows a returning soldier in field uniform and peaked cap embracing a young woman — an allegorical scene evoking homecoming at the end of the First World War. A serial number is printed in black below the central vignette. |

Lünen's 1918 Notgeld issue belongs to the first wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded the German market as the imperial government failed to keep small-denomination coinage in circulation — wartime metal requisitioning had gutted the supply of Pfennig and Mark coins well before the armistice. Cities and towns were effectively left to solve the problem themselves, and thousands did.
Lünen itself was a mid-sized Westphalian coal and industrial town, its economy tied directly to the Ruhr. Nothing about this particular 25 Pfennig issue distinguishes it technically from the broader wave — its significance is purely archival, a paper artifact of a monetary system coming apart at the seams in the final year of the war.
