| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, also rendered in olive-green on cream paper, presents a central rectangular vignette of a Black Forest woman in traditional regional costume standing in a doorway, enclosed by flanking sprays of pine and thistle blossoms. Stylised Gothic numeral "2" cartouches occupy each upper corner, and the Gothic denomination "Zwei Mark" runs across the lower portion of the design. A two-line legal notice and a counterfeiting warning in smaller Gothic type complete the lower margin. |

Furtwangen is a small town in the Black Forest, best known historically as a center of clock-making. This 2 Mark Notgeld was issued in 1918 during the final collapse of the German Imperial war economy, when acute coin shortages — caused by hoarding and metal requisitioning — forced hundreds of municipalities to produce their own emergency paper in fractional and low denominations.
Stadtgemeinde issues like this one carried purely local authority. They were accepted by local merchants out of necessity, not legal obligation, and most were withdrawn and redeemed within months of issue — which makes surviving circulated examples more representative of genuine use than the deliberately collectible Notgeld printed for the philatelic market in 1920–21.
