| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in olive-green and black and carries a central vignette of a massive, spreading oak tree rendered in a bold woodcut-style engraving, set against a rural landscape with low hills; the denomination 'M 1' appears in the four corners within the decorative border. An elaborate frame of oak leaves and acorns in green surrounds the composition, with the words 'UP EWIG UNGE DEELT' distributed across the four sides in ribbon cartouches, and the text 'Gutsbezirk Sonderburg' inscribed in stylised script beneath the tree vignette. |

Süderholz is a small commune in Pomerania, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1919, it printed its own emergency currency — Notgeld — to address the acute small-change shortage that followed the First World War. These local issues were a practical stopgap, not a monetary statement. The municipality simply needed coins it couldn't get.
1 Mark municipal Notgeld from this period was typically printed in small runs on whatever paper stock was available locally, often by a regional printer with no specialized banknote experience. Süderholz's issue is among the more obscure Pomeranian examples.
