A Low German verse in two columns flanks the figure, printed in bold Gothic type. The lower portion bears the large Fraktur legend 'Notgeld Dassow i/m', and the entire composition is enclosed within a decorative red geometric guilloche border. |

Dassow is a small town in Mecklenburg, just inland from the Bay of Lübeck, and like hundreds of similarly minor German municipalities in 1921, it issued its own emergency small change — Kleingeldscheine — to fill the void left by hoarded coins during the postwar inflation spiral. The choice of Gebrüder Borchers in nearby Lübeck was purely practical; the firm handled a substantial volume of notgeld printing for towns across the Lübeck hinterland, making them a regional default rather than a prestige selection.
The DeNG reference places this within a three-variant series for Dassow, this being the second subtype.
