A bold blue rectangular banner at the top carries the white block-lettered inscription 'PASEWALKER NOTGELD', beneath which a radiant sunburst underprint fans outward from the centrally placed municipal coat of arms — a blue shield bearing three red griffin-like creatures. The denomination '75 Pf.' appears in large black Gothic numerals on both the left and right flanks, with the issuing authority line 'Der Magistrat:' followed by a manuscript signature, and the redemption clause and date 'Pasewalk, den 1. Oktober 1921' inscribed in Gothic script below. |

| Comments |
Pasewalk's municipal notgeld from 1921 sits in a large and well-documented series of German emergency currency issued by towns and cities unable to source sufficient Reichsbank coin during the chronic small-denomination shortage of the early Weimar period. What makes this particular piece worth noting is that both the printer and designer were local — J. Scheidling operated in Pasewalk itself, and H. Wilde's design credit places production entirely within the town. That kind of complete local production was less common than it might appear; many municipalities sent their notgeld orders to Leipzig or Berlin.
The Scheidling imprint on a circulating municipal note is uncommon enough that examples attract regional collector interest disproportionate to Pasewalk's modest size.
