| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a large Fraktur guilloche underprint reading 'Gutschein' and 'Stadt Kahla', with a circular town seal vignette at center. A serial number in red appears at upper right. The central text area carries a handwritten-style facsimile quotation attributed to Generalfeldmarschall von Hindenburg, referencing the construction of the Krieger-Gedenkstätte (war memorial) on the Leuchtenburg near Kahla. Two manuscript facsimile signatures of city officials appear at lower left and lower right beneath a printed text line. |
