| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts two kneeling figures flanking a large stoneware jug or pitcher, a direct reference to Höhr's renowned pottery and stoneware industry in the Westerwald region. The figures, rendered in low relief, appear to be craftsmen or potters posed symmetrically on either side of the central vessel. The date '1921' is inscribed in the lower central field between the two figures. The composition is glazed in cobalt blue on a white porcelain ground, and the rim features the same raised radial dash border as the obverse, consistent with the overall production style of Westerwald porcelain Notgeld. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Höhr, a small town in the Westerwald region, had been a center of German stoneware production for centuries before the postwar emergency coinage crisis gave local potteries an unexpected second purpose. During the Notgeld period of 1920–1922, dozens of municipalities turned to porcelain as a coinage material precisely because the regional ceramic industry could produce it cheaply and quickly — and because metal remained scarce and heavily regulated. Höhr was particularly well positioned for this, with established kiln infrastructure already running.
Porcelain Notgeld pieces fired at high temperature are notably resistant to the wear that destroys paper issues from the same period.
