| Beschrijving keerzijde | A boldly drawn Art Nouveau-style vignette in yellow and dark blue-green occupies the upper portion of the reverse, illustrating figures — including a woman in a ruffled skirt and barefoot, and male figures in period dress — walking across the tidal mudflats (Watt) near Büsum, with a windmill and church spire visible in the background. The legend 'Wattenläufer in Büsum' is set in a dark panel to the right. Below the vignette, a four-line Low German rhyming verse is printed in a smaller typeface. |

Büsum's 1921 Notgeld issue was printed locally by W. Clausen — unusual even by Notgeld standards, where most small municipalities farmed out production to established printers in Hamburg, Leipzig, or Berlin. A coastal North Sea resort town of a few thousand residents, Büsum had little economic justification for an in-house run, which suggests the series was aimed squarely at the collector trade that had sprung up around German emergency currency by 1921.
By that point, Notgeld collecting was a documented commercial phenomenon, with some municipalities issuing purely for philatelic revenue rather than any genuine liquidity need.
