| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse carries a central oval vignette in blue and orange, presenting a panoramic winter landscape of the town of Kahla set among forested hills and rocky outcroppings. At the top centre of the vignette, a lit Christmas tree radiates beams of light across the snowy scene below, evoking the Weihnachtsserie theme. The oval is framed by an ornamental orange border composed of scrolling acanthus motifs with small cherub or angel figures at the four corners, the artist's name 'GLASS' inscribed at the lower centre of the vignette. |

| Opmerkingen |
Kahla's 1921 Christmas series belongs to the vast wave of German Notgeld issued during the hyperinflationary spiral that followed the First World War, when municipalities, businesses, and institutions printed their own emergency small-change notes to compensate for hoarded or melted coinage. Himmer of Augsburg was a prolific Notgeld printer, and their production quality varied considerably across clients — the watermarked paper on this series places it toward the more deliberate end of Kahla's output rather than the rushed wartime issues.
The "Christmas series" designation reflects a marketing instinct that emerged late in the Notgeld phenomenon: towns increasingly issued thematic sets aimed at collectors, blurring the line between circulating necessity and philatelic commodity.
