1921- German Town of riebes, Reuss (Thuringia) 25 Pfennig
🎨 Design Description
-
Left Panel:
The denomination “25 Pf” printed in elegant blue script, above the words:
“Gutschein der Stadtgemeinde Triebes Reuss” —
meaning “Voucher of the Municipal Town of Triebes, Reuss.”
(The “Reuss” refers to the small former German principality that existed before being merged into Thuringia in 1920.) -
Right Panel:
A finely detailed engraving of a large school or municipal building surrounded by trees and a gently curving road — likely a local landmark or town hall.
Below it, an inspirational saying appears:
“Spare, lerne, leiste was, so hast du, kannst du, giltst du was!”
which translates to:“Save, learn, achieve something — then you’ll have something, can do something, and be worth something!”
-
Color Scheme:
Warm tones of rose-red, cream, and black, with blue highlights — typical of 1921 Thuringian lithographic style.
