| Obverse description | An interior genre scene in the Low German (Reuter) literary tradition occupies the central vignette, rendered in a coloured letterpress style with orange and blue tones: three figures — a man in a long coat seen from behind, a young girl to the left, and an aproned woman to the right — stand in a domestic setting with a round table and flower vase. A decorative orange ribbon banner arches across the top carrying a handwritten-style Low German verse text, and a silhouette portrait medallion appears on the wall. The denomination numeral '10' in bold dark type and the word 'Pfennig' appear at the lower centre, flanked by the validity text and facsimile signatures of the issuing authority. |

Klütz is a small town in western Mecklenburg, and like hundreds of similarly sized German municipalities in 1921–1923, its local authority issued Notgeld to plug the chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage that had been driven out of circulation by inflation. The Gemeindevorstand — the municipal executive board — was the issuing authority here, which was standard for parish-level emergency currency. Three signatures appear: Wagner, Reepsa, and Lierow, almost certainly the sitting board members at the time of issue, lending the note a nominal official sanction.
