| 裏面の説明 | A whimsical allegorical vignette, signed by the artist O. Herrfurth in the lower right, occupies the upper three-quarters of the reverse, rendered in a caricature style with ochre and brown tones. The scene portrays a procession of anthropomorphized zoo animals — including bears, monkeys, an elephant, a giraffe, a rhinoceros, and cattle — paying court to an enthroned lion and bear wearing royal crowns. Below the vignette, a four-line German verse is set in Gothic Fraktur script, flanked on either side by denomination cartouches reading '2 Mark' in blue and ochre. |

Hartung & Co. was a Hamburg commercial printer with no particular specialty in security printing, which shows in the relatively simple execution of this note. The designer O. Herrfurth — best known for illustrating children's books and fairy tales — was an odd but locally logical choice for a zoo-issued piece, and his involvement here is one of the more curious pairings of artist to subject in German notgeld.
Over twelve million printed makes this one of the higher-circulation Hamburg zoo notgeld issues, reflecting both the acute small-change shortage of 1921 and the institution's role as a genuine local economic actor during that period.
