Descrizione del rovescio	Octagonal reverse sharing an identical design with the obverse: a plain outer pearl border follows the eight-sided periphery, enclosing a circular inner pearl ring. Within the central field the large numeral '1' is prominently struck. The surrounding legend between the two concentric pearl borders reads 'KRIEGSNOTGELD KREIS GARDELEGEN' interrupted by a six-pointed star stop mark, all rendered in raised Latin capitals. The uniformity of both sides reflects the functional, no-frills character of this World War I emergency issue.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Gardelegen issued notgeld coinage during the post-WWI emergency period when the collapse of the imperial monetary system and acute metal shortages left municipal authorities scrambling to plug gaps in everyday small change. Zinc was the practical fallback — cheap, workable, and already familiar from wartime coinage production. Most pieces from district-level issuers like Gardelegen saw brief, intense local circulation before being withdrawn or hoarded as curiosities.
