| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed entirely in orange on a cream ground and occupied by the heraldic shield of Brunswick — a rampant lion passant to the right set within a U-shaped escutcheon — rendered against a fine guilloche lattice underprint of repeating diamond and circle motifs. Alternating panels of circular and diamond guilloche patterns flank the shield on both sides, enclosed within a plain rectangular border. |

| Opmerkingen |
Ortskohlenstelle notes occupy a strange corner of German emergency money history. These were not issued by a municipality in the conventional Notgeld sense, but by a local coal distribution office — a wartime and postwar administrative body responsible for rationing fuel. The Braunschweig coal office issued scrip to facilitate transactions within its own supply chain, a purely functional instrument with no pretense of broader monetary ambition.
The 1 Mark denomination suggests early postwar issuance, before hyperinflation rendered small-value paper meaningless. Few of these coal office issues were preserved by collectors, since they lacked the decorative printing that made Notgeld fashionable.
