CA$6.00

🎨 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.
