Fürstenberg an der Havel sits in what is now Brandenburg, but the Mecklenburg designation here reflects pre-Weimar administrative boundaries. This note belongs to the vast notgeld emergency coinage wave of 1918–1922, when the collapse of centralized coin production forced thousands of German municipalities to print their own small-denomination paper. Fürstenberg's issues are modestly collected — not among the artistic Serienscheine sought by specialists, but not ignored either.
The DeNG 1 reference places it firmly in the documented municipal series. Catalog survival rates for these small-town Pfennig notes vary sharply depending on whether local stocks were redeemed and pulped.
