| Obverse description | The obverse is headed by the bold Gothic letterpress inscription 'NOTGELD DER STADT WEIMAR' in black, beneath which a finely engraved portrait vignette of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is set within an octagonal frame printed in red, flanked on either side by the denomination '50 PFENNIG' in red numerals and black capitals. The date 'WEIMAR, DEN 1. MÄRZ 1921' appears below the vignette alongside the authorising signatures of the Oberbürgermeister and the Gemeinderat-Vorsitzender, with a validity clause at foot. The printer's imprint 'DIETSCH & BRÜCKNER, WEIMAR' runs in small red type along the bottom margin. |
