| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is arranged in three vertical panels. The left panel shows a beach bathing hut on wheels with a woman standing at its door. The large central panel presents a colourful seaside vignette of two women in period bathing costumes playing in the surf, rendered in a painterly style with a pastel sky and crashing waves. The right panel depicts a man in a summer suit and straw hat holding binoculars, with a small dog at his feet and a notice board nearby, accompanied by the denomination '2 Mark' in Gothic script repeated in both the left and right panels. |

Wangeroog is the smallest and most isolated of the inhabited East Frisian Islands, and its wartime emergency money reflects that remoteness. Like most German municipal Notgeld of the 1914–1918 period, this 2 Mark note was issued to compensate for the near-total disappearance of coins from circulation — silver and copper hoarded by a public that trusted metal over paper when everything else was uncertain.
Gerhard Stalling in Oldenburg was a logical choice for small North Sea island municipalities; the firm handled a significant volume of regional Notgeld contracts across Lower Saxony and was equipped for short, rapid print runs on modest formats.
