| Beschrijving keerzijde | Within a continuous pearl border, the upper half of the field bears a curved legend reading 'MEUSELBACHER KUPPE'. Below the legend, the central and lower field depicts a scenic view of the Meuselbacher Kuppe, a wooded hilltop with a prominent observation tower rising from among the trees, rendered in fine relief. The composition conveys a sense of local topographic pride characteristic of German municipal Notgeld issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Meuselbach was a small textile-manufacturing village in Thuringia, and its 1919 notgeld issue belongs to the enormous wave of emergency coinage that flooded Germany after the Imperial government collapsed and central coin distribution broke down. Municipalities, factories, and even individual businesses were legally permitted — briefly — to issue their own substitute currency to relieve the acute shortage of small change. Zinc was the material of necessity: copper and nickel were still being hoarded or diverted post-war.
The Funck catalogue remains the primary reference for Thuringian notgeld coinage of this type. This piece's dual citation under Men22.2 confirms it has passed through systematic modern cataloguing.
