1921 German Notgeld 75 Pfennig from the City of Kahla (Saale) is a beautifully illustrated emergency banknote issued during the early Weimar Republic period.

The front design features a finely detailed architectural and historical scene associated with Ehrnhof, highlighting medieval stone buildings, fortified walls, and the surrounding Saale River landscape. The composition emphasizes Kahla’s historic urban identity, framed by decorative foliage and heraldic shields bearing the town’s coat of arms.

The reverse side presents formal denomination text and official municipal inscriptions, including serial numbering, issue details, and expiration language typical of emergency currency. Elegant script and ornamental borders reinforce the note’s ceremonial and civic character.

Printed in earthy tan, black, and muted accent tones, this 75 Pfennig note exemplifies the artistic depth and local pride found in collectible German Notgeld issues. It is an excellent addition for collectors focused on Weimar-era currency, regional German towns, or illustrated historical banknotes.
