Thanks marcel – I have added this to the ‘VARIANT GEMS’ file – which I will update in 2030!! Not worth updating the publication before that as there are so many examples already listed.
THALE
Stamp “10.NOVEMB.” for the “Sammeltages” (“collectorsday”) on the serie Oberschlesier-Hilfstag (see item also below)
Internet
Marcel – you have a very nice selection of Thale notes and thanks for posting all the scans and info here. I have one here I don’t think you show…….look at the over-sized ‘7’.
(I will add the Witzenhausen notes to the relevent article if they are missing from the list)
THALE
This article gives a overview of the most issued Serienscheine of the city Thale in the Harz. It is a tourist city for nature lovers and hikers. The Harz is a very rough piece in east of Germany. The region is therefore also impregnated with fairy tales and other mysteries. All those are seen on the notes of Thale. But not only for the beautiful notes you see that Thale has many series who looks alike and has many issued notes with “mistakes, misprints or variations”. (All pictures are of my private collection except “backsite postcard size” is from the internet.)
The first issue of Thale Stadt in Serienscheine: 10 Pfennig. Notice the greenish notes above are the front and the back. The note below is black and white AND with a stamp “20. Febr.”. There is also a note 10 Pf. also in black and white, but without a stamp.

THALE
The 25 Pfennig note of “Walpurgis” is only with the intake date and in green. I think there was a deficiency in the 25 Pfennig notes (or a printing error).
The 50 Pfennig note is (reissued design) for a new serie, but notice with a only the intake date, a blueish denomination and like the first issue of the Serienscheine of Thale Stadt
THALE
A nice “misprint”of the 50 Pfennig in the serie of “Walpurgis”: notice the nomination 50 (Pfennig). The note above is the normal printing and the note below, the 50 has shifted to the left (printing plate error?)
THALE
Two series with the same front, but one with one picture and the other with two pictures on the back. The four notes of 50 Pf are with a letter on the front and spell out with the 1 Mark note T h a l e. The 50 Pf note below is a “misprint”, it carries T, the letter for the 1 Mark note
THALE
Three variations of the same note of “Hotel Zehnpfund”: one with a perforation “UNGÜLTIG”, one without “Hotel Zehnpfund” in red print and the “regular” note with the red print
THALE
Two examples of the postcard size series of Thale. You have six series with the same “look”. Five of them with the same pictures (see below). Two series are with a special stamp. They were sold on a special collecting day (“Sammeltag”).
Private collection
THALE, original design (Verkehrsausgaben)
Front of the 50 Pfennig, issued in 1917 in the serie of 10, 25 and 50 Pfennig. They look very similar with the later reissued notes. Look carefully: the red sign on the front is the seal of Thale. The later issued notes have a rosette. The 1917’s notes have a serial number on the back. This serie is issued in two runs: The first one has a smal serial number (4,5 mm narrow, Typ II) and the second run a larger number (5,5 mm wide, Typ I) and on the front lower right corner “Neudruck.”.
Internet
THALE and reused design
Three series with the same design. 1. Gutschein 10, 25 and 50 Pfennig. 2. Gedenkschein 1 Mark Totenfest. 3. Gedenkschein 1 Mark Totensonntag.

THALE and WITZENHAUSEN
See below; same graphic design as the Ersatznotgeld of Thale

THALE
Thale issued many Serienscheine series and one is a strange kind: “Ersatznotgeld auf Formularen fuer Wegeunterhaltungsbeitraege” (“Substitute emergency allowance on forms for road maintenance contributions”). When you see the forms they are a tourist tax to maintain the footpaths. The Harz is and was a popular and rough region in the east of Germany for hikers and Thale one of the main starting places.
But the question is: why the 50 Pfennig note (with stamp and talon) is Notgeld and where you can use it?
