50 Pfennig

Aschersleben is one of the older towns in the Harz foothills, but this note has nothing to do with civic pride — it exists because the postwar coin shortage made small change practically impossible to conduct commerce with. The 1920 Kleingeldersatz wave hit hundreds of German municipalities simultaneously, and Aschersleben's Stadtkasse responded with this Buhe-printed issue rather than relying on the makeshift cardboard and linen Notgeld some smaller communities were still circulating.

The DeNG reference placing this as 50.1 suggests at least one variant exists within the series — likely a color or paper difference worth confirming against a physical example before cataloging.
