Kassen in Zahlung genommen und verliert drei Monate nach Aufforderung zur Einlösung seine Gültigkeit. Genthin, den 1. Juli 1921.- Der Magistrat: Offsetdruck Arthur Kirchner, Erfurt. |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is executed in a bold woodcut-style design in black on a salmon-pink ground. A large, stark portrait of Otto von Bismarck — rendered in high-contrast hatching characteristic of Expressionist printmaking — occupies the central field, his bearded face gazing directly at the viewer. Above and below the portrait, two horizontal panels carry a Bismarck quotation in Gothic blackletter script, with the printer's credit 'Alfred Hanf-Erfurt.' printed in small type at the foot. |

| Opmerkingen |
Genthin is a small inland town in the Magdeburg district, and like hundreds of similar municipalities across Weimar Germany, it resorted to issuing its own Notgeld when the postwar inflation made centrally-issued small denominations functionally useless. The 1921 issues fall into the second wave of municipal emergency money — no longer driven purely by coin shortage as in 1917–18, but by a collapsing exchange rate that was consuming low-value Reichsbank notes almost as fast as they could be printed.
Two Erfurt firms share the printing credit here, suggesting the job was split between offset color work at Kirchner and finishing or text printing at Hanf — a common division of labor for small-run municipal issues of this period.
