| Obverse description | The obverse of this German Notgeld issue presents the denomination '2 Mark' in bold gothic letterpress typeface within a simply composed layout typical of municipal emergency currency. The text block is framed by a decorative border with fine guilloche elements, and the issuing authority of the City of Belgard is inscribed above the central value statement. The note bears a serial number and spaces for official validation signatures. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries standard validating text and legal notice language in German gothic script, set within a plain border design consistent with wartime Notgeld production. The composition is typographic in character, with the printer's imprint of Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott A.G., Glogau, noted in small lettering. Minimal ornamentation reflects the utilitarian nature of this municipal emergency issue. |

Belgard — today Białogard in northwestern Poland — was a small Pomeranian town issuing notgeld like hundreds of German municipalities during the acute coin shortage that gripped the empire from around 1916 onward. Carl Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau were among the more prolific regional printers of this material, supplying note designs to dozens of small issuers simultaneously, which means shared decorative stock was common across the series.
The firm's Glogau plant is itself now in Polish territory — Głogów — a geographic irony that tracks neatly with Belgard's own postwar fate under the Potsdam Agreement.
