30 Pfennig

Westerhorn is a small village in Holstein, and like hundreds of similarly minor German municipalities, it issued emergency paper money — Notgeld — during the acute coin shortage that followed the First World War. The Konrad Hanf printing house in Hamburg serviced numerous small northern German communities during this period, producing short runs of locally denominated scrip that were technically valid only within the issuing municipality's boundaries.

Thirty Pfennig was among the more practical denominations for everyday transactions at the time — the coin equivalent had effectively vanished from circulation by 1917.
