| Reverse description | The reverse is occupied entirely by a large rectangular historical vignette rendered in fine letterpress, enclosed within an ornamental border of intertwined leafy garlands with gilt outer rule. The scene illustrates the Council of Belgard dismissing Polish envoys in 1107, with robed and armoured figures gathered in a Gothic interior. A caption in Gothic script runs along the lower margin below the vignette, and the design registration number 'D.R.G.M. 795679' is printed beneath. |

Belgard an der Persante was a mid-sized Pomeranian town, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1917–1921, its savings bank stepped in to produce small-denomination Notgeld when fractional coinage disappeared from circulation almost entirely — hoarded, melted, or simply not minted in sufficient quantities during and after the First World War. Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau were prolific producers of this municipal paper, handling print runs for dozens of Pomeranian and Silesian issuers simultaneously.
The reference suffix "1/5" indicates this is one of five variants in the first type group — differentiated typically by serial number range, ink color, or minor typographic adjustment rather than any redesign.
