A decorative scroll in the upper left bears the inscription referencing the Schützenzunft and the date 1514, with a passage of Low German dialect text running across the upper field in letterpress. The denomination '10 Pfennig' is set in bold type at lower centre, accompanied by validity text and a manuscript mayoral signature line ('Der Bürgermeister') at lower left. |

Wittenburg is a small town in Mecklenburg, and like hundreds of German municipalities it resorted to locally-issued Notgeld during the severe coin shortage that gripped Germany from around 1916 onward. These emergency issues were authorized at the municipal level precisely because the central authorities could not maintain adequate fractional coinage in circulation — metal had been diverted to the war economy. The Stadt Wittenburg series falls squarely within that wave of necessity-driven local paper.
The DeNG reference places this within the standard Grabowski-Mehl catalog for German Notgeld, which documented well over ten thousand such issues. Collector demand for Mecklenburg municipal notes remains modest, which keeps prices honest.
