| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black letterpress on a pale ground with a decorative gilt and yellow border of scrollwork framing the entire note. A large central vignette in fine line engraving style renders a steam vessel moored at a quayside, its decks crowded with figures, with a harbour building to the right and onlookers on the dock — an allusion to the reception of returning prisoners of war ('Kriegsgefangenen-Empfang'). The issuer's name in Gothic script and the place name in bold sans-serif capitals appear below the vignette, with the word 'GUTSCHEIN' set on a banner scroll at the top. |

| Comments |
Brunsbüttelkoog in 1922 was a small industrial settlement on the south bank of the Elbe at the mouth of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal — not the sort of place that typically sustained a dedicated trade and industry association capable of issuing its own emergency currency. The Verein für Handel, Gewerbe und Industrie was precisely that kind of local merchant coalition, filling the coin vacuum that Weimar-era inflation had created by the early 1920s. Gebrüder Parcus in Munich was one of the more prolific Notgeld printers of the period, handling commissions from hundreds of such bodies across Germany.
