| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Printed in terracotta-brown on cream paper, the obverse is framed by two arched vignettes: at left, a mine worker in work clothes carrying a tool, and at right, a uniformed official in dress uniform. At centre top, the municipal coat of arms of Leopoldshall is flanked by two pairs of crossed miners' hammers, with the mining salutation 'Glück auf!' inscribed to either side. Below, a four-line verse in German Kurrent script alludes to the local potash and rock salt industry. The lower register carries a validity notice, the place and date 'Leopoldshall, den 25. Juli 1921', a manuscript magistrate's signature, a serial number, and the printer's imprint 'LOUIS KOCH HALBERSTADT'; the denomination '25 Pfg.' appears in large numerals at each lower corner. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse, also printed in terracotta-brown, carries a central rectangular vignette of an underground mining scene captioned 'Firstenbetrieb, etwa 50m. unter Tage', showing two miners at work with timber pit props and drilling equipment in a stope approximately 50 metres below surface. Flanking the central vignette are two decorative ribbon banners bearing the legend 'Kali- u. Steinsalz-gewinnung' (potash and rock salt extraction), interspersed with wheat-ear ornaments. The denomination '25 Pfg.' is repeated in large numerals at the lower left and right corners. The issuer's title 'Gutschein der Stadt Leopoldshall i. Anh.' is set in a curved banner across the top. |

| Anmerkungen |
Leopoldshall was a small industrial town in Anhalt whose economy revolved almost entirely around potash mining — the same salt deposits that made the region one of Germany's most chemically productive zones. This note is part of the vast wave of Kleingeldersatz (small change substitutes) issued by German municipalities in 1921, when postwar coin shortages left local economies effectively paralyzed at the retail level. Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a regional printer active across multiple Notgeld series in Saxony and Anhalt, supplying dozens of small issuers who lacked the connections or volume to approach larger national printers.
Leopoldshall merged with the neighboring town of Staßfurt in 1945, erasing the issuing municipality from the map entirely.
