Canton code and number in miniature on the yellow 100 × 140 mm plate for Kleinmotorräder and light motor vehicles. Yellow alone won't identify it — the moped plate is yellow too. This one carries the two coats of arms; the moped's carries an insurance vignette.

## About this plate

Neither predecessor wording was retrievable, so neither is described and no earlier series is invented, the 2013 dimension change in particular is a candidate for a pre-2013 series once AS 2012 7149's own text is read.
