| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a vivid yellow, black, and red colour scheme, with the large Gothic blackletter heading "Notgeld" spanning the upper portion against a yellow ground. A central rectangular vignette, framed in black, presents a coloured view of the Gasthaus Hinsch — a white-rendered inn flanked by trees with red foliage — captioned "Gasthaus Hinsch" in the lower margin of the vignette. Decorative Art Nouveau corner ornaments in teal and black occupy all four corners, and the denomination "25 Pfg" appears in red on both the left and right flanks, with the locality inscription "für Trittau i/Holst." in Gothic script along the lower border. |

| Comments |
Trittau is a small market town in Holstein, east of Hamburg, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921–1923 it was forced to issue its own small-denomination emergency money — Kleingeldscheine — simply because Reichsbank coinage had effectively vanished from circulation, hoarded or melted as inflation eroded its intrinsic value. The Hamburg region produced a particularly dense concentration of such issues, many commissioned from local printers with no meaningful security printing infrastructure.
The DeNG reference suffix .2-3 indicates this is one of at least two known variants within the type — likely differing in serial number range, signature, or minor typographic detail.
