| 裏面の説明 | The reverse carries a vignette of the chapel at the Gliwice cemetery, a site historically significant as a location where sabotaged armaments were concealed prior to detonation during the plebiscite-era tensions in Upper Silesia. The imagery serves as a direct visual reference to the political and military circumstances surrounding the transfer of the Knurów district to Poland, consistent with the commemorative intent of this Notgeld issue. |

Knurów was a small industrial commune in Upper Silesia, and this 1 Mark notgeld dates to an acutely unstable moment: the region had only just been partitioned following the 1921 plebiscite and the Third Silesian Uprising, with the League of Nations award dividing territory between Germany and Poland in October 1921. Knurów itself fell to Poland. By 1922, the newly assigned Polish administration was still operating within a German-denominated monetary framework during the transitional period before full zloty integration.
Local notgeld of this type was a practical stop-gap, issued by commune authorities to address small-denomination shortages when central supply chains were disrupted by the political handover.
