| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | The upper register carries a two-line Gothic-script legend naming the issuing savings bank and the denomination, set against a plain ground. The central vignette, printed in black and red on a buff ground, presents a crowned female saint holding a sword and a cartwheel — the attributes of St. Catherine, patroness of Guhrau — flanked by two tower vignettes and framed by bold baroque scroll-work. Denomination monograms '1 M' appear in the upper corners, while the lower strip bears the account designation 'Konto D', the town name 'Guhrau', and a serial number at right; the printer's imprint 'Flemming-Wiskott-A.-G. Glogau' is lettered below the frame. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse is dominated by a central architectural vignette rendered in fine line work, showing a perspective street view of the Glogauer Tor (Glogau Gate) as it appeared around 1850, with flanking burgher houses and a tall tower rising above the arched gateway. The vignette is enclosed within an ornamental border of interlaced foliate scrolls printed in red and black, with circular denomination medallions bearing '1 M' set into the left and right lateral panels. The town name 'Guhrau' appears in a cartouche at the top centre, and the caption 'Das Glogauer Tor um 1850' is inscribed in Gothic lettering along the lower margin; the design registration mark 'D.R.G.M. 795679' is printed below the outer frame. |

| Anmerkungen |
Guhrau — now Góra in southwestern Poland — was a small Silesian town caught in the administrative chaos of the early Weimar inflation years. Municipal savings banks across Germany were authorized to issue emergency Notgeld when the Reichsbank could not keep fractional currency in circulation, and the Städtische Sparkasse Guhrau took that option in 1922, well into the inflationary spiral that would peak catastrophically the following year.
Carl Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau printed enormous quantities of municipal Notgeld for towns throughout Silesia during this period. The regional concentration matters: Glogau itself lay only a few kilometers from Guhrau, which made local contracting practical when paper and press time were both scarce.
