| Reverse description | Cream paper with a salmon-toned hatched border frame enclosing a central woodcut-style vignette in the manner of a medieval chronicle illustration: several robed councillors are seated around a heavy table strewn with documents, confronting a standing maidservant at right, separated by a pillar, the tiled floor rendered in precise perspective. Above the vignette, a Gothic blackletter inscription forms the upper legend; a continuation of the same verse appears as the lower legend beneath the vignette. |

| Comments |
Pritzwalk is a small Brandenburg town whose municipal treasury — the Stadthauptkasse — issued notgeld during the inflationary spiral of 1922, when the Reichsbank simply could not keep pace with demand for small-denomination currency. The 1.50 Mark denomination is itself a giveaway: values like this emerged because existing coins and banknotes covered neither the gap below nor above, forcing municipalities to fill the breach with locally printed scrip.
The DeNG reference suffix range (1-7/10) indicates multiple typographic or color variants within this single issue — collector differentiation that the casual market frequently collapses into a single lot, sometimes to the buyer's advantage.
