| Obverse description | Three-panel layout in brown, red, and cream tones with ornamental foliate borders. The central panel bears the municipal arms of Neusalz (Oder) — an escutcheon divided between a black eagle above and a sailing vessel on stylized waves below — set against a light guilloche underprint within a decorative cartouche. The left panel carries the bearer cheque text in Gothic script, with the account designation 'Konto D' at the foot, while the right panel bears the denomination 'Eine Mark' in bold Gothic lettering flanked by roundels each displaying the numeral '1' over the Mark symbol; the printer's imprint 'Flemming-Wiskott A.-G. Glogau' appears in the bottom margin. |

| Comments |
Neusalz an der Oder — now Nowa Sól in Poland — issued municipal emergency money through its savings bank during the notgeld period, when the German central authorities could no longer supply adequate small-denomination coinage. Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott were a well-established Glogau printing and publishing house, and their involvement in regional notgeld production was extensive across Lower Silesia.
Glogau itself, like Neusalz, is now Polish territory — Głogów — following the postwar border shifts that erased the entire administrative geography these notes were designed to serve.
