| Obverse lettering | Die Sparkasse der Stadt BELGARD Zahle gegen diesen Scheck aus meinem Guthaben an den Inhaber Zwei Mark Konto P FLEMMING-WISKOTT-A.G. GLOBAU. |
| Reverse description | The reverse carries a full-width multicolour vignette illustrating two mounted Totenkopf hussars in field uniform, armed with lances, riding across a desolate wartime landscape with bare trees and a distant town silhouette under a pale sky. The border inscription running along the top and sides reads 'TRACHTEN DER BELGARDER TOTENKOPFREITER, VORDEM LEIBHUSAREN IN DANZIG, IM WANDEL DER ZEITEN', and the lower margin bears the legend 'IM GROSSEN KRIEGE' within a decorative guilloche band. Artists' credits 'J. Leibhur R.' and 'WH Lippert' appear within the vignette, with the design registration mark 'D.R.G.M. 795679' printed in the bottom margin. |

Belgard an der Persante — today Białogard in northwestern Poland — issued this Notgeld through its municipal savings bank during the inflationary emergency period following the First World War. Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau were among the more prolific regional printers of German Notgeld, supplying dozens of small municipalities across Silesia and Pomerania with reasonably well-produced emergency scrip. W.H. Lippert's design credit is unusual — individual designer attribution on Notgeld is far from universal, and suggests a more deliberate commission than the off-the-shelf vignette work common in cheaper issues.
