| Obverse description | Central vignette presents a street-level view through an arched gateway toward a Gothic church tower, rendered in fine line illustration with orange-tinted underprint on the denomination numerals. The value "25 PF." appears in large orange letterpress figures at left and right flanking the vignette. A Low German dialect proverb runs across the upper margin in blackletter script, and the lower panel carries the validity clause and the issuing authority's name with two manuscript signatures. |

Neubrandenburg's municipal council issued this Notgeld note during the post-WWI emergency currency period, when the collapse of normal coin production left German towns scrambling to cover small-denomination transactions. Municipal issues at the 25 Pfennig level were among the most practically necessary — silver and base-metal coinage in that range had effectively vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted down years before the armistice.
The Grabowski-Mehl reference places this among the documented series for Mecklenburg. Town-issued Notgeld of this period was printed in enormous variety but often in short runs, with quality varying sharply between printers.
