| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in olive-green, brown, and grey tones and divided into three pictorial vignettes framed by a leafy border with the numeral 10 and the legend "Mark" in each lower corner. The central, dominant vignette portrays the Memel lighthouse (labelled "Leuchtturm") with waves breaking against its pier; a couple in regional folk dress occupies the left vignette, while a figure standing on a harbour jetty gazes out to sea in the right vignette. A ribbon cartouche at the top carries the name "Memel", and below the central scene the text "Notgeld der Handelskammer" appears in Gothic script, with the printer's imprint "GEBR. PARCUS MÜNCHEN" at the foot. |
