Below the vignette, a Low German folk verse in Gothic script reads 'Jorhen, lat man mich dien Piep fallen,' followed by the validity inscription and place name in capital letters. Three facsimile signatures of municipal officials appear at the foot of the note beneath their respective titles. |

Waren (Müritz) was one of hundreds of small German municipalities that resorted to Notgeld in the early 1920s as chronic coin shortages — driven by metal hoarding and wartime disruption — left everyday commerce nearly impossible. The town's issues were printed locally, which was unusual enough to note: most comparably sized municipalities contracted out to Leipzig or Berlin commercial printers. Local production kept costs down but introduced inconsistencies in ink saturation and registration that collectors use to distinguish genuine issues from later reprints made for the philatelic trade.
The 1921 Kleingeldscheine series is well documented but not especially rare, as overprinting was common practice once demand from souvenir collectors became clear.
