Apolda's Silhouette Series is among the more coherent municipal Notgeld designs to come out of Thuringia's 1921 issues — the city commissioned Adolf Forker in Leipzig to produce a consistent artistic program across the denominations rather than the patchwork approach many smaller towns took. Issue F is the sixth variant in the 25 Pfennig sequence within this series, distinguished by its serial placement rather than any dramatic design departure.
Bürgermeister Keyer and Walther Fischer signed for the city's authority. Apolda was then still primarily known as a centre of the German hosiery and knitting industry — a fact that occasionally surfaces in the town's Notgeld imagery.
