| Beschrijving keerzijde | Black and green letterpress design on cream paper within a single-ruled border. A central oval medallion on a green ground carries a finely hatched left-facing portrait bust of the writer Willibald Alexis, enclosed by an elaborate rope-and-scroll cartouche. Two robed allegorical figures flank the medallion on either side, each striding outward. The denomination '25' appears in red numerals at the upper left and upper right corners. A scroll at the foot of the cartouche bears the name 'Alexis' in italic lettering, and the monogram 'ADW' is printed below the lower border. |

A. Paul Weber designed this note before his political engagements hardened into the work that would later land him in Gestapo custody in 1937. In 1921 he was a commercial illustrator working the Notgeld circuit, and Arnstadt — a small Thuringian town with an outsized sense of civic pride — commissioned a themed series built around local figures and landmarks rather than the utility designs flooding the market at the time.
The print run of over twelve million for a 25 Pfennig denomination from a town of roughly 16,000 people tells you this was produced for collector sale, not wage packets. Notgeld of this period was a deliberate revenue stream for municipalities, and Arnstadt was thorough about it.
