| Reverse description | Central vignette in woodcut-style engraving presents a view of rebuilt townhouses and civic buildings around what appears to be the market square of Domnau, with gabled roofs, multi-storey facades, and a prominent corner building at right. The composition conveys the town's reconstruction, contrasting with the ruined scene on the obverse. An ornamental foliate border in ochre and black frames the note, with the denomination legend in Gothic script along the lower margin. |

Domnau was a small East Prussian market town — Domnowo today, in the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia — that issued this note during the height of the German Kleingeldschein crisis, when a national coin shortage drove thousands of municipalities to print their own fractional emergency currency. Flemming-Wiskott in Glogau handled an enormous volume of this Notgeld work, producing material for dozens of small issuers across Silesia and beyond.
The town itself ceased to exist as a German administrative entity after 1945. Notes from Domnau survive primarily as collector pieces — actual circulation in a town of this size was brief and limited.
