| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a row of ornate guild and marksmen's trophy cups (Zunftpokale) set beneath an arched frame, printed in dark brown. Portrait medallions of Bismarck and Schill occupy the upper left and right corners respectively, each identified by name in Gothic lettering with flanking text panels noting their historical connections to Naugard, while the denomination '25' appears in square panels at lower left and right. A cartouche at lower centre bears the caption 'Die Zunftpokale der Handwerker u. Schützen', and the registered design number 'D.R.G.M. 795679' is inscribed at the foot. |

Naugard — now Nowogard in northwestern Poland — was a small Pomeranian market town whose municipal savings bank issued this 25 Pfennig notgeld during the acute small-change shortage that followed the First World War. Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott in Glogau were a well-established regional printing house responsible for a considerable volume of Pomeranian notgeld, and W. H. Lippert's design credit suggests this was not simply a generic filler job — named designers on notgeld of this denomination are not common.
The reference suffix "1d-1/5" indicates this is one of five distinguishable variants within the 923.1 type, differentiated typically by color shade, paper stock, or serial characteristics rather than substantive redesign.
