| Beschrijving voorzijde | A letterpress-printed Notgeld note in which the denomination is rendered in Gothic script at the top and in Arabic numerals at centre. The municipal coat of arms of Mayen appears to the left and that of Andernach to the right, each accompanied by the respective town name — STADT MAYEN and STADT ANDERNACH — in the corresponding legend areas. A serial number and an authorising signature are placed in the lower portion, lending the note its official character. |

| Opmerkingen |
A joint issuance between two neighboring Rhineland towns — Mayen and Andernach — this note is an artifact of the Kleingeldersatz crisis that gripped Germany immediately after the First World War. The defeat, the armistice, and the collapse of the imperial monetary system left municipal authorities scrambling to fill the void left by hoarded and scarce small coin. Towns routinely cut their own deals, and paired issuances like this one were an occasional solution when neither town had the administrative weight to go it alone.
Notgeld of this period was printed in enormous variety and largely unregulated. The 1919 window was brief — by 1920 the Reichsbank was working to suppress municipal issues.
