25 Pfennig Silhouette Series - Issue C

Apolda's Silhouette Series is among the more coherent pieces of municipal Notgeld design produced in the early 1920s inflationary period — not because the imagery is spectacular, but because the series was conceived as a unified set rather than the ad hoc scrip most smaller Thuringian towns threw together. Adolf Forker in Leipzig handled a considerable volume of municipal emergency currency across Saxony and Thuringia during this period, and the production quality is consistent with that output.

Issue C is the third distinct printing within the series, distinguished in the reference numbering by plate or signature variants. Heyne signing as deputy mayor rather than mayor suggests the note may have been authorized during an administrative gap in civic leadership.
