50 Pfennig

Leutenberg is a small spa town in the Thuringian Saar valley, and like hundreds of similarly sized municipalities, it issued emergency currency — Notgeld — during the inflationary chaos of the early Weimar period. The printer, Merzdorf & Frosch of nearby Saalfeld, handled a number of these regional commissions; their output was competent but not among the more artistically ambitious of the genre.

The serial number is the only security measure, which was entirely typical for municipal Notgeld of this class and offered no real protection against copying.
