| Obverse description | Tan and olive-green notgeld note with denomination panels bearing "10 PF." in dark shields at upper left and right. The central vignette presents a colour woodcut-style view of a Gothic church with a tall spire, framed by bare-branched trees and rendered in ochre, brown, and teal. Payment text runs vertically along the left margin, with the denomination in words and the issuing magistrate's two manuscript signatures at right; the printer's imprint appears along the lower edge below the central vignette. |

| Comments |
Plathe was a small Pomeranian market town — today Płoty, in northwestern Poland — and its municipal savings bank was among thousands of local German institutions forced into emergency currency production during the hyperinflationary spiral of 1921–1923. The Reichsbank simply could not print fast enough, and the gap was filled by an explosion of Kleingeldscheine from municipalities, cooperatives, and commercial firms across Germany.
H. Susenbeth operated in Stettin as a regional printer serving Pomeranian issuers throughout the notgeld period. The four-variant series catalogued under DeNG 1#1060.1-1/4 suggests minor typographic or color differences between printings — common where a local printer ran short of paper stock mid-order.
