Stadt Donauwörth (50 Pfennig - 1918) features a stern medieval knight clad in armor wielding a broadsword behind a beautifully colored heraldic shield. The upper margins display patriotic text flanked by oak leaf borders framing the large circular face values.
Stadt Kaufbeuren (50 Pfennig - 1918) focuses on a giant unsheathed sword driven directly into a detailed panorama of the medieval city. A flowing text banner curls around the hilt reading “Die Schwertschmiedstadt im alten Reich” (The Sword-Smith City in the Old Empire).
Stadt Rottweil am Neckar (50 Pfennig - 1918) depicts a massive, ornate black Imperial Eagle (Reichsadler) bearing a red and gold cross upon its breast. The note is bordered by highly traditional, bold German black-letter typography sitting on an ivory paper background.
Handelskammer Göttingen (25 Pfennig - 1917) highlights a haloed knight standing guard above the Imperial Eagle and regional coats of arms for neighboring towns like Osterode. The top margin prominently features the historical year 1917 separated by traditional decorative punctuation dots.
