| Reverse description | Light blue-green ground with a gold-ruled border and denomination tablets '25 Pfg.' in red at upper left and right. A central oval vignette, framed in gold, presents a coloured scene of three figures in period costume beside a church bell on a lakeshore — a reference to the local Teterow legend of the bell carried by boat. Low German verse stanzas attributed to Tarnow flank the vignette on either side in Gothic blackletter script, and a decorative foliate frieze runs along the lower margin. |

| Comments |
Teterow is a small market town in Mecklenburg, and like hundreds of similarly sized German municipalities, it turned to local printing to cover the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany from around 1916 onward. Bärensprungsche Hofbuchdruckerei was the court printer in Schwerin — a credible regional house, though notes from this press vary considerably in production quality across different issuing towns.
Notgeld of this denomination and type was typically issued in limited runs tied to specific municipal need, and Teterow's issues are not among the more widely documented series from Mecklenburg.
