| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse carries a scenic vignette executed in fine line engraving, occupying the full central field and rendered in black with a pale blue-green horizon wash; it shows a rural riverbank landscape with sailing vessels moored at the water's edge, a thatched cottage amid trees at centre, and farm outbuildings to the right — evoking the picturesque 'Bremer Schweiz' district. The same geometric lattice border as the obverse frames the composition, with the locality designation 'ST. MAGNUS / BREMER SCHWEIZ' inscribed in a banner at the top and 'NOTGELD / DER GEMEINDE ST. MAGNUS' lettered across the lower panel. |

St. Magnus is a small parish on the northern outskirts of Bremen, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1921, it issued its own Kleingeldersatz — substitute small change — to compensate for the near-total disappearance of metal coinage from circulation. The chronic coin shortage by this point was no longer wartime disruption; it was structural, driven by hoarding and the collapse of public confidence in the currency's future purchasing power.
Konrad Hanf was a Hamburg commercial printer who produced notgeld for multiple northern German issuers during this period. Nothing technically unusual about the production.
