| Obverse description | Printed in dark brown and grey on cream paper, the obverse carries the issuer title 'Gutschein von Neustadt i. Holstein' within a decorative typeset header at top, with the city arms in an ornate cartouche at upper centre flanked by two columns of Low German verse. The central vignette, captioned 'Der Löwe von Dänemark', presents a satirical allegorical scene in which a soldier pulls a lion by the tail away from two boundary stones inscribed 'Dänemark' and 'Schleswig-Holstein', alluding to the post-WWI Schleswig plebiscite. The denomination '50 PFENNIG' appears in bold at the left and right margins, with the validity inscription 'Gültig bis 31. Juli 1921.' and two facsimile signatures positioned below the vignette. |
