| Beschrijving voorzijde | Salmon-pink and dark blue Notgeld note printed in a woodcut style, with a central vignette of the Madonna and Child set within a radiate oval cartouche; the crowned Virgin, rendered in expressive linear art, holds the Christ Child before her robes. The denomination 'Fünf Mark' appears twice in Gothic blackletter script flanking the central vignette, with 'Notgeld der Stadt' at upper left and 'Genthin' at upper right. The lower margin carries the issue date 'Genthin, den 1. Juli 1921', the serial number, an autorisation note signed by Der Magistrat, and the printer's imprint 'Alfred Hanf-Erfurt'. |

| Opmerkingen |
Genthin is a small town in the Magdeburg Börde region of Saxony-Anhalt, and this note is a product of the Notgeld emergency currency wave that flooded Germany between 1919 and 1922 as the Reichsbank struggled to keep small denominations in circulation amid postwar inflation. Municipal authorities across Germany were legally permitted to issue their own temporary notes, and hundreds of towns did exactly that — Alfred Hanf in Erfurt was a busy regional printer during this period, producing Notgeld for numerous smaller municipalities.
The 5 Mark denomination places this issue in the transitional window before hyperinflation rendered such figures meaningless within months.
