| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is dominated by a fine blue guilloche underprint of concentric wavy-line rosettes radiating from a central oval reserve. At centre, the heraldic shield of Pritzwalk is rendered as an intaglio-style vignette, showing a lion passant beneath a tree with an eagle displayed at its crown. A serial number is typeset in black at the top of the field, and the printer's imprint 'GEBR. PARCUS MÜNCHEN' appears in small capitals at the lower centre. |

Pritzwalk is a small town in the Prignitz district of Brandenburg, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1920, it issued its own emergency fractional currency — Notgeld — to compensate for the Reich's failure to supply adequate small change during the post-war economic disruption. Gebrüder Parcus of Munich was one of the more prolific specialist printers of this material, supplying municipalities across Germany with notes that were often better produced than the coinage they replaced.
Parcus issues tend to hold their color well. The firm's lithographic work on municipal Notgeld is generally reliable enough that condition problems on surviving examples usually trace to circulation handling rather than the printing itself.
