| Obverse description | Orange and dark purple Notgeld note with a central vignette of the Greiffenberg municipal coat of arms — a crowned shield bearing a rampant lion beside an armoured knight — set against a wavy guilloche underprint. The denomination "Dreißig Pfennig" is rendered in bold Gothic (Fraktur) script to the right of the arms, with the issuer legend "Die Stadtsparkasse Greiffenberg i/Schl." in a top cartouche. Ornate Art Nouveau foliate border panels flank both sides, each carrying the numeral "30" and the word "Pfennig"; a blank date line at the lower centre reads "Greiffenberg, den ___ ten 192_". The printer's imprint "FLEMMING-WISKOTT-A-G GLOGAU" appears at the bottom margin. |

| Reverse description | Cream and dark purple Notgeld note printed in a restrained two-colour scheme with green highlights. The central vignette illustrates the Silesian folk legend of Rübezahl: a long-haired, bearded giant clad in rough fur tends a root-vegetable garden with a hoe at right, while a rider on horseback flees across an open landscape in the middle distance beneath a leafy tree canopy. Matching Art Nouveau foliate side panels frame the composition, and two text banners — one above and one below the vignette — carry the legend title in Gothic script. The printer's registration notice "D.R.G.M. 795679 UND D.R.P. ANGEMELDET" is printed in the lower right margin. |
