| Reverse description | Blue-grey note with a bold black outer border. The upper and lower margins carry a two-line patriotic verse in Gothic script. The central vignette, signed by artist A. Püschel, presents a stark two-tone silhouette composition: a black figure in mid-kick to the left confronts a white eagle rendered in an expressionist, dishevelled silhouette to the right, with scattered feathers across the field, symbolising the forcible expulsion of the Polish white eagle — a propagandistic reference to the Upper Silesia dispute. |

The Deutscher Schutzbund was a nationalist pressure group active in the early Weimar period, advocating for ethnic Germans in territories lost after Versailles. This local issue from the Glauchau-Stollberg working group places the organization squarely in the Saxony industrial belt, where post-war economic grievances and political radicalization ran parallel. The note was printed by a local municipal press — Rats-Druckerei R. Dulce — which suggests hasty, small-run production rather than any centrally coordinated currency scheme.
Whether this circulated as genuine emergency money or functioned primarily as a propaganda or fundraising instrument is not firmly established in the literature.
