| Obverse description | The note is divided into three vertical panels with a scalloped black border framing the entire design. The left panel carries a Gothic-script verse text against an ochre ground, with the printer's imprint 'J. A. Himmer-Augsburg' at the foot. The central panel presents a bold Expressionist vignette of a male figure in close-up, rendered in black outline against a stylised brick-wall background in terracotta and grey-blue tones. The right panel bears the denomination 'Gutschein über 25' in large Gothic lettering, the serial number, the issuing authority 'Kahla S/A', the issue date 'den 15. Okt. 1921', facsimile signatures of the Bürgermeister and Stadtvat., and the expiry notice 'Verfalltag 31. Dez. 1921'. |
