25 Pfennig

Münchenbernsdorf is a small Thuringian town, and this 25 Pfennig note is a product of the Kleingeldersatz crisis that gripped Germany from roughly 1916 onward — coins were being hoarded or melted as metal values outpaced face values, and thousands of municipalities stepped in to print their own small-change substitutes. The printer, A. Manbes, was a local firm, which was entirely typical of Notgeld production: the whole point was to keep the process municipal, fast, and cheap.

The Grabowski and Verbanz references both catalog this as a distinct type variant — the "b" suffix in M56.4b signals a printing or paper difference from the base type worth tracking in a collection.
