A border of fine guilloche lines frames the entire design. In the lower portion, four lines of Gothic verse are inscribed: "Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel wär / Und wollt uns gar verschlingen / So fürchten wir uns nicht so sehr / Es soll uns doch gelingen!" |

Coburg's municipal authority issued this Notgeld during the acute coin shortage that followed Germany's defeat in the First World War, when hoarding of metal currency left ordinary transactions impossible across hundreds of German towns. The Magistrat turned to J. Adolf Schwarz in Lindenberg — a commercial printer well outside any major financial center — which was entirely typical of Notgeld procurement: local officials contracted whoever was available and willing.
The embossed seal was the Magistrat's authentication device, substituting for the bank infrastructure the city didn't have. Coburg itself voted in 1920 to join Bavaria rather than the newly formed Free State of Thuringia — one of the few plebiscites of the Weimar transition period to actually proceed.
