| Reverse description | The reverse is printed on a black background with a large central vignette framed by an arched border, presenting a coloured view of the historic Koch'sche Brauerei in Wismar, a Renaissance-style building erected 1569–1571 with a distinctive red tiled roof and ornate stepped gable facade, with figures in the foreground. Three flags — rendered in the colours of various German associations — are arranged above and to the sides of the arch, one at the top centre and one on each flank. A pale rectangular cartouche at the base carries the caption identifying the building and its construction dates. |

| Comments |
The Sanitätshundeverein München was a war-dog welfare and training association — specifically focused on medical rescue dogs used in battlefield casualty recovery. By 1921, such organizations were scrambling for funds in an economy dissolving under postwar inflation, and local branches like the Wismar Ortsgruppe turned to notgeld not as emergency currency but as a fundraising mechanism. Collectors bought these small issues for their novelty value; the money went to the association.
Printed locally by Kunstdruckerei A. Sander, this is a provincial production with a narrow collector base today — primarily German notgeld specialists rather than thematic military collectors.
