The central vignette presents a panoramic view of Frankenhausen am Kyffhäuser with the ruined Kyffhäuser castle rising above the town rooftops, signed by the artist H.L.

| Anmerkungen |
Frankenhausen's 1921 Notgeld series takes its name from the Kyffhäuser monument on the ridge above the town — a site loaded with nationalist symbolism, being both the legendary sleeping-place of Friedrich Barbarossa and the location of the decisive 1525 peasant battle where Thomas Müntzer's forces were annihilated by princely troops. The city leaned hard into that mythology at a moment when Weimar inflation was eroding confidence in Reichsbank currency.
Herm. Germeyer of Berlin handled the printing, with design credited to H.L. Braune. The watermarked paper is the primary security feature — unusual for municipal emergency issues of this type and period, where plain stock was far more common.
