| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is framed by a red ornamental border with the denomination '25 Pf.' rendered in large Gothic numerals and letters in the left and right margins. A central rectangular vignette in color illustrates the Plotenberg (Plytenberg), described in the caption as the highest hill in East Frisia at 12 metres and an ancient pagan cult site, with a panoramic view of Leer in the background and a surrealist figure looming above; a biblical reference '1 Mos. 1.2. Und die Erde war wüst und –' is inscribed within the vignette, playing on the town name 'Leer' (meaning 'empty'). A Low German proverb in Gothic script runs along the top and bottom borders: 'Wen't Geld fangt an to spreken, kan eine' and 'un de Minsten neit meer reken'. The artist's signature 'A. Götting' appears at lower right within the vignette. |

This note belongs to the broader Notgeld phenomenon of 1921, when hundreds of German municipalities, clubs, and cultural associations issued small-denomination emergency currency partly out of necessity and partly as a fundraising and collector-driven enterprise. The Verein für Heimatschutz und Heimatgeschichte — a regional heritage association in Leer, East Frisia — falls squarely in the latter camp. By 1921 the acute coin shortage of the early Weimar years was easing, and many such issues were printed speculatively for the collector market rather than genuine circulation.
Arthur Götting of Preetz designed the series. Hartung & Co. in Hamburg handled the printing.
