| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is occupied entirely by a vivid full-colour lithographic vignette illustrating the plundering of Gangelt by Hessian troops in 1643 during the Thirty Years' War. The scene renders soldiers dragging and abusing townspeople in a cobblestoned street, with the town church visible in the middle distance and buildings in flames at left. A rectangular caption panel at the foot of the note carries the explanatory inscription in Gothic lettering. |

Gangelt is a small market town in the Selfkant district, which has the distinction of being the last territory returned to West Germany by the Netherlands — not until 1963, making it briefly the westernmost point of the Netherlands after 1949. The 1921 notgeld issue predates all of that, but the town's position in a perpetually contested border zone gives even routine municipal emergency currency a slightly unusual geographic weight.
Pfennig-denomination notgeld from small Rhenish municipalities was typically a short-lived convenience measure during the coin shortage of 1920–1922. Gangelt's issue is unremarkable in format but scarce simply because so little survived redemption.
