| Obverse description | Central vignette in sepia tones shows two children — a girl with a hair bow and a boy wearing a cap — standing outdoors against a lightly printed architectural underprint in light yellow-brown. Ornamental black side panels with stylised floral and scroll guilloche motifs flank the vignette, each topped by an orange denomination cartouche reading "10 Pf" in bold numerals. A ribbon scroll at the foot of the note carries the Low German inscription "Wi... dor komen de Berliner!" |

| Comments |
Fürstenberg an der Havel issued a run of small-denomination Notgeld in 1921 as Germany's postwar coin shortage continued to bite at the municipal level. These fractional emergency notes were typically printed locally in short runs, redeemed quickly, and almost never formally archived — which accounts for the difficulty in attributing precise print quantities to individual Grabowski/Mehl variants today.
The .2-1/7 suffix in the Grabowski/Mehl reference indicates a specific text or color variant within the 402 series, not simply a sequence number.
