| Beschrijving voorzijde | Orange-toned notgeld printed in dark brown letterpress on plain paper, enclosed within an ornate scrollwork border of repeating foliate and wave motifs. The denomination "Fünf Mark" is set in large blackletter type at centre, above which the header "Gutschein über" appears in smaller script; a faint underprint vignette of two portrait busts and a civic coat of arms occupies the middle ground. The lower half carries the place and date inscription "Quedlinburg, im Oktober 1918", a manuscript signature over the issuing authority line "Der Magistrat", and a red-printed serial number in a ruled box at lower right, with a cancellation perforation running along the upper margin. |

| Opmerkingen |
Quedlinburg's municipal authority issued this emergency note — Notgeld — during the acute coin shortage that gripped Germany in the final year of the First World War. Small-denomination metal currency had largely vanished from circulation by 1917, hoarded by the public or consumed by war industry, forcing hundreds of German towns and cities to print their own stopgap paper. Quedlinburg was one of thousands.
The perforation security feature is worth noting: relatively few Kleingeldscheine of this period bothered with mechanical authentication, making the Magistrat's choice here slightly above the norm for municipal issues of this type and value.
