| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large central vignette printed in green and black, rendered in a flat illustrative style, showing a solemn ecclesiastical procession: Bishop Johann von Waldow of Brandenburg approaches the monastery church at Ziesar, attended by clerics, while a row of white-habited Cistercian nuns carrying candles advances from the right, flanked by stone columns on each side. A descriptive caption in Fraktur script runs along the top border, and a four-line verse in Fraktur occupies the lower red-ground panel. Denomination numerals '3 M' appear in the lower corners, and the design registration number 'D.R.G.M. 795679' is printed in the lower margin. |

| Comments |
Ziesar is a small town in the Jerichow district of Brandenburg, and its municipal savings bank — the Städtische Sparkasse — was among the thousands of local German institutions that resorted to Notgeld in 1921 as the Reichsbank struggled to keep small-denomination currency in circulation. Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau were prolific printers of this material, supplying municipalities across Silesia and Brandenburg with competent if unremarkable work.
Ziesar's issues are not among the more aggressively collected Brandenburg Notgeld series, which keeps prices grounded.
