| Obverse description | The central vignette, set within an arched frame, presents a kneeling medieval page in colourful costume offering a tray bearing fruit and a goblet, rendered in a bold Art Nouveau lithographic style against a swirling foliate underprint. Flanking vertical panels carry elaborate teal and black acanthus-scroll ornaments with the denomination '1,50 M' repeated at upper left and upper right. The issuer's payment text appears in a banner above the arch, with 'Grünberg in Schl.' lettered in decorative script below the central vignette, and the account designation 'Konto I' with a serial number in the lower corners. |

| Comments |
Grünberg — now Zielona Góra in western Poland — was a mid-sized Silesian town whose municipal bank issued notgeld during the severe coin shortages that plagued Germany from 1916 onward. The 1.50 Mark denomination is an awkward fractional value, almost certainly chosen to address a very specific gap in local circulation rather than follow any standard series logic.
Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott A.G. operated out of Glogau, roughly 60 kilometers northeast, and handled a substantial volume of Silesian emergency currency during this period. Designer credit to Wh. Lippert appears on other Flemming-Wiskott productions from the same years.
