| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in dark brown and blue on a pale grey ground, executed in an expressive woodcut style. A large central vignette illustrates a scene from the local legend 'De spöükige Schatz von de Langenbrückpaoerte' — a crouching gnome-like figure chained to a treasure chest in a shadowy vault — flanked by two smaller rectangular vignettes of foliage and a bear. Large blue Gothic initials 'IE' and '2 Mark' appear at upper left and upper right respectively, with the Low German dialect verse caption and printer's imprint 'Ad. Eßich & Co., Oldenburg i. O.' at the foot. |

| Opmerkingen |
Wiedenbrück, a small Westphalian town in the Teutoburg Forest region, was among hundreds of German municipalities forced to issue their own emergency currency — Notgeld — during the post-WWI economic chaos. The Reichsbank's inability to keep small denominations in circulation drove local authorities to fill the gap themselves, often contracting regional printers at short notice. Ad. Eßich & Co. in Oldenburg handled a considerable volume of such municipal commissions in this period.
The 2 Mark denomination places this note in the transitional phase of the Notgeld phenomenon, after the proliferation of low-value Kleingeldscheine but before hyperinflation rendered face values meaningless within months of printing.
