| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in orange and black on cream paper. A large black line-engraving vignette occupies the left three-quarters of the composition, rendering a close-up view of a classical colonnaded structure — likely the Neubrandenburg theatre or a neoclassical public building — with tall Ionic columns rising to a cornice, set against a lightly sketched sky with foliage at the base. To the right, a vertically oriented orange panel carries the denomination '10 Pf.' in large orange numerals, with a series identifier '1' below, all printed on a wood-grain textured orange background. The heading 'Neubrandenburg Reutergeld' appears across the top in bold black sans-serif lettering on an orange ground. |

Neubrandenburg's municipal council issued this Notgeld note during the emergency currency period that followed Germany's defeat in 1918, when the collapse of normal payment systems forced hundreds of towns and cities to print their own small-denomination scrip. The Rat der Stadt — the city council — acted as issuer rather than any banking institution, which was entirely typical for Kleingeldscheine of this type. Pfennig-denomination pieces were the workhorses of the system, covering the gap left by hoarded coins.
The P#GrM reference places it within Grabowski-Mehl's municipal catalogue rather than the standard Pick series — the cataloguing itself a reminder of how fragmented this material is.
