| Obverse description | The upper portion is divided into three panels on a dark ground: the left and right panels each carry the red-and-white municipal coat of arms of Kahla on a shield draped with a ribbon scroll, while the central panel contains a guilloche underprint with the large numeral '75' set within a circular frame. The lower half, on a light guilloche ground, bears the bold Gothic-script inscription 'Gutschein der Stadt Kahla S-A' above the issuing authority line 'Der Stadtrat:', flanked by a boxed issue date at left and a red serial-number panel at right. The printer's imprint 'C. Schröter, Leipzig' appears at the lower left margin, and a validity notice runs along the bottom edge. |

| Comments |
Kahla's 1921 Notgeld issues belong to the wave of municipal emergency currency that flooded Thuringia as the Reichsbank struggled to keep denominations in circulation during the postwar inflation spiral. Kahla itself was a small porcelain-manufacturing town on the Saale — economically modest, which makes the relative ambition of commissioning a dedicated printer in Leipzig rather than relying on a local jobbing press worth noting.
C. Schröter produced a competent series for the Stadtrat. The 668.2A suffix indicates a variant within the issue, likely a paper stock or overprint difference from the base type.
