| Beschrijving voorzijde | The upper register carries the title legend in Gothic blackletter script across the full width. The central vignette presents a detailed letterpress view of the Meppen town hall, a multi-storey Renaissance-style façade with stepped gables and a corner tower. Denomination panels with guilloche ornament and the numeral '10' over 'Pfennig' in Gothic type flank the central vignette on both sides, with the city arms — a knight holding a sword and shield — in the lower left corner; a facsimile magistrate signature and the date 'Meppen, 31. Mai 1921' appear above the vignette. |

The central vignette illustrates two peat workers labouring beside a large stack of cut turf in an open moorland landscape, rendered in a bold letterpress style. Denomination panels with guilloche ornament and the numeral '10' over 'Pfennig' flank the scene on both sides, with a crowned heraldic cartouche in the lower left; a Low German dialect verse caption appears immediately below the central vignette. |

Meppen's 1921 Notgeld issue belongs to the second wave of German municipal emergency currency — the so-called "Serienscheine" phase, when towns increasingly treated small-denomination paper money as a revenue source through collector sales rather than a genuine liquidity solution. By 1921 the Reichsbank had restored sufficient coin supply for daily transactions, yet hundreds of municipalities continued issuing, knowing philatelic demand would absorb the print runs.
G. A. Hülswitt in Münster was a regional commercial printer responsible for numerous Westphalian Notgeld issues during this period, not a specialist banknote house — which accounts for the relatively modest production values typical of their output.
