| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse of this Notgeld issue carries the denomination '1 Mark' in bold letterpress within a simple typographic layout, framed by a guilloche border. The city name 'Belgard' appears as the issuing authority, with the note's validity conditions and authorizing text set in period German blackletter script. The overall design is characteristic of municipal emergency currency of the World War I era, with restrained ornamentation typical of the Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott printing house. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a plain or lightly printed design consistent with wartime Notgeld economy of production, likely carrying a brief anti-counterfeiting notice or issuing authority statement in German blackletter script. A guilloche or simple geometric border frames the field, and the denomination value is restated. The austere layout reflects the utilitarian nature of municipal emergency currency issued during the wartime currency shortage. |

| Opmerkingen |
Belgard — now Białogard in northwestern Poland — was one of hundreds of German municipalities that issued emergency paper money (Notgeld) during the First World War, when small coinage disappeared almost entirely from circulation. The Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott firm in Glogau handled a substantial share of provincial Notgeld contracts during this period, supplying notes to town administrations across Pomerania and Silesia.
The printer's Glogau address is worth noting: the city is today Głogów, Poland, so both the issuing town and the printing town have since changed national hands.
