| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in a bold, expressionist woodcut style in a palette of purple, yellow, ochre, and green. The central vignette presents a raised thatched-roof structure on stilts set amid tropical vegetation with palm trees, evoking a scene from German New Guinea. To the right stands a full-length figure of a Melanesian man rendered in yellow against the purple ground, while the left border carries stylised tribal decorative motifs with lightning-bolt patterning. The denomination '3 Mark' appears twice in the left panel in large yellow Gothic numerals, and the place-name 'Neu-Guinea' is inscribed in bold white lettering across the lower purple band. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Deutsche Kolonialgesellschaft was a private colonial lobby organization, not a state body, which makes this note an unusual artifact — it was issued by the women's auxiliary branch (Frauenbund) of the Unterweserstädte chapter, almost certainly as a fundraising or commemorative issue rather than a circulating necessity note in the conventional sense. By 1922, Germany had formally lost all its colonial territories under the Treaty of Versailles, so this was produced by an organization actively lobbying for their return.
Otto Remmler was a Geestemünde printer with no particular prominence in the emergency money trade. The hyperinflationary wave of 1922–23 created enormous demand for local small-denomination issues, and colonial societies — like many civic groups — issued notgeld to generate both revenue and publicity for their causes.
