| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central vignette, executed in fine letterpress line engraving, portrays a scene of French troops surrendering arms to Prussian and Russian forces at Glogau on 17 April 1814, with columns of soldiers and cavalry rendered in detailed period costume. Flanking the central panel on the left is a red-framed cartouche bearing the town name 'Glogau' and validity clause, with the denomination '1 Mark' in a red panel below; the right side carries a matching cartouche with the regional designation 'Schlesien' and the issuing authority 'Magistrat: Dr. Srestbeer / Lieutenant / 1. Dezbr. 1920.' The historical inscription runs vertically along both inner borders of the central vignette, and the printer's imprint 'FLEMMING–WISKOTT A·G, GLOGAU' appears at the foot. |

Glogau's municipal emergency currency — Notgeld — was a product of the acute coin shortage that gripped German towns in the immediate postwar period. The city issued multiple series between 1917 and the early 1920s, with Carl Flemming & Wiskott handling production locally, an uncommon circumstance since most smaller municipalities farmed their Notgeld out to Leipzig or Berlin printers.
Heinrich Schiestl, a Munich-based illustrator and woodcut artist, contributed designs to dozens of Notgeld series across Germany — his involvement here is a mark of the collector-oriented premium issues that proliferated from 1920 onward, when towns increasingly treated Notgeld as a revenue stream through philatelic sales.
The watermarked paper distinguishes this from the cheaper printings in the series.
