| Reverse description | The green-tinted reverse centres on a large oval seal in red, bearing the inscription 'ERB. GERICHT BEVERSTEDT' around a beaver swimming above the word 'LUNE', flanked by two full-bodied beavers in black intaglio-style engraving that serve as heraldic supporters. A pink ribbon banner below the seal carries the legend 'GERICHTS-SIEGEL VOM JAHRE 1797'. The denomination '25' appears at lower left and 'Pf' at lower right in bold red, with the issue date and serial number box at the foot of the note. |

Beverstedt is a small town in Lower Saxony, and this 25 Pfennig Notgeld is exactly what the postwar currency shortage produced by the thousands across provincial Germany — locally printed emergency small change issued because Reichsbank coin had effectively vanished from circulation. The 1922 date places it in the inflationary spiral preceding the catastrophic hyperinflation of 1923, when municipal authorities scrambled to fill the void left by hoarded metal coinage.
The Grabowski reference 98.1-1/3 suggests a series of at least three variants, likely distinguished by color or reverse text rather than denomination changes.
