| Reverse description | Brown, black, and red letterpress design centred on a vignette of a mounted rider on a rearing horse, rendered in a bold woodcut-style silhouette against a dark sky with stylised cloud forms. The central scene is set within a concave black field framed by broad brown diagonal corner fills, with circular denomination roundels reading '30 Pfg.' at left and right. The legend 'Notgeld der Gemeinde' curves along the upper arc in Fraktur script, and 'Kurzenmoor' is inscribed in matching script along the lower arc. |

Kurzenmoor is a small community in Schleswig-Holstein, and like thousands of German municipalities during the Inflationszeit, it issued its own Notgeld to compensate for the chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage after World War One. The printer, Konrad Hanf of Hamburg, handled Notgeld contracts for numerous northern German localities during this period — competent regional work, nothing more.
Thirty Pfennig was among the more practical denominations, covering everyday transactions that larger notes couldn't easily break.
