| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in teal-green and black on cream paper, with matching acanthus-scroll lateral panels bearing the denomination letter 'M' at top and bottom. The central vignette, signed 'W.H. Lippert' at lower right, presents a silhouette scene of an elderly gentleman with a tricorn hat and cane facing a group of five children, rendered in solid black in the manner of a Scherenschnitt paper-cut. The heading 'Grünberg in Sch.' is flanked by the phrases 'Obst- und' and 'Wein-Stadt', and a three-line quotation in Gothic script below the vignette reads the well-known exchange about cloth-weavers' boys; the imprint 'D.R.G.M. 795679 u. D.R.P. angemeldet.' appears at the foot. |

| Opmerkingen |
Stadtbank Grünberg was a municipal savings institution in the small Silesian town of Grünberg (now Zielona Góra, Poland), and like dozens of similar local banks across Germany, it resorted to issuing low-denomination emergency currency — Notgeld — during the severe coin shortages that plagued the country in the First World War and its immediate aftermath. These municipal issues filled a genuine transactional gap; small change had effectively vanished from circulation as the public hoarded metal.
Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau were among the more prolific regional printers of Silesian Notgeld, producing notes for numerous nearby municipalities. W.H. Lippert's design credit is unusual — named designers on small municipal issues are uncommon enough to suggest this may have been a prestige commission rather than a purely functional print run.
