A central rectangular cartouche with fine cross-hatched background carries the large numeral "1" flanked by two small circular ornaments. The issuer's name "Verein für Handel u. Gewerbe" appears in Gothic script at the top, while "Hohen Neuendorf" is inscribed at the bottom, both framed within a ruled border and separated from the central cartouche by the geometric guilloche pattern. |

Verein für Handel und Gewerbe — loosely, a trade and commerce association — was one of countless local merchant guilds that began issuing small-denomination Notgeld during the First World War when low-value coins vanished from circulation almost overnight. Hohen Neuendorf, a small town north of Berlin on the Kremmener Bahn line, was precisely the kind of community where such a body would step in to keep petty transactions moving when the Reichsbank couldn't supply enough metal coinage.
The Tieste Va classification indicates this belongs to the documented Notgeld corpus, though survivor numbers for hyper-local 1 Pfennig issues from minor issuers remain thin.
