Just like most of the Bielefeld issues, the above note has different variants. Edgings can be coloured or intricate lace.

The verse in the upper right corner states:

'Wie die Feinde pluender : Deutschland erhielt durch gutschrift auf Reparationskonto bis 30. Juni 1922 fuer gelieferte Kohlen 700 Millionen Goldmark. Unter zugrundelegung der englischen martpreise wuerde sich aber ein Kohlenwert von 2 Milliarden Goldmark ergeben. Hier ist der Hut dem wir uns beugen muessen.'

Translated to English it says:

'How the enemy is looting : for delivered coal, until June 30th 1922, Germany's reparation account was credited with 700,000,000 Goldmark. (700 millionen) Compared with coal prices on the British market, Germany should have been credited for 2,000,000,000 Goldmark. (2 milliarden) Here is the hat we have to bow to.'

(In the drama "William Tell" of Friedrich Schiller the Landvogt/administrator for the Swiss lands - who's name was Gessler - put up a stake with his hat on. Everyone who passed this stake had to greet it as if it was the Vogt himself. That brought the barrel to run over and contributed to the uprising against the German (Habsburg) Emperor in Vienna. The famous "Gessler-Hut").
