| Obverse description | A Notgeld emergency issue of the City of Belgard (Pommern), with the denomination 75 Pfennig rendered in bold letterpress type against a decorative guilloche underprint. The town name and issuing authority appear in a formal serif typeface, with ornamental border elements framing the central text panel. The overall layout follows the compact horizontal format typical of Pomeranian municipal Notgeld issues of the early 1920s. |

Belgard an der Persante — now Białogard in northwestern Poland — issued this Notgeld during the currency shortages that plagued German municipalities from roughly 1916 onward. Small towns like Belgard turned to local or regional printers when central coin supply collapsed, and Carl Flemming & T. C. Wiskott in Glogau were among the established commercial printers who took on this work. Glogau itself is now Głogów, also in present-day Poland — two German towns, both now Polish, connected by a wartime printing contract.
