| Obverse description | Green-tinted note with a pale guilloche underprint bearing the text "Stadt Kahla" in large Gothic script across the centre field. The upper portion carries a two-line Gothic letterpress inscription referencing Generalfeldmarschall von Hindenburg and the planned Krieger-Gedenkstätte on the Leuchtenburg near Kahla, followed by a facsimile quotation in cursive script signed "von Hindenburg". A further two-line typeset legend at the lower centre reads "Das Land Altenburg errichtet für seine 6600 Gefallenen auf der Leuchtenburg einen Ehrenbau"; two manuscript signatures appear at the lower left and right, captioned "Bürgermeister" and "Stadtrat" respectively, with the J. P. Himmer, Augsburg printer's cartouche at the foot centre. |
