Flanking the tower vignette are two large denomination numerals '10' within octagonal green-tinted panels. Low German dialect verse inscriptions in Kurrent script appear below the numeral panels on either side of the central image. |

Salzwedel's municipal administration turned to its own local newspaper press — the Salzwedeler Wochenblatt — to produce this Notgeld, a common enough arrangement in the early Weimar inflation years when obtaining a specialist printer was slow and expensive. The practical result is a note that looks exactly like what it is: a small-town emergency solution printed on whatever paper was available at the time.
The DeNG reference suffix distinctions within the 1162.1a series reflect known paper and color variants, making precise attribution to subtype important for catalog purposes.
