| Obverse description | Printed on white linen in orange, red, and dark brown, this note carries large denomination numerals '1000' flanking a central banner inscribed 'Stadtsparkasse Bielefeld' above the legend 'ZAHLE GEGEN DIESEN SCHECK AUS GUTHABEN AN UNS ODER ÜBERBRINGER'. The upper vignette presents a silhouette frieze of agricultural and livestock scenes, referencing a concert event at the Bielefeld Festhalle on 31 February 1922, while the lower vignette portrays an allegorical tableau of nations — labelled Polen, Offenbarung, Frankreich, England, and others — in satirical confrontation. The borders carry continuous text quotations running along all four edges, and the note bears the printed date 'BIELEFELD, DEN 15.12.1922', the issuing authority 'STADTRAT', and facsimile signatures of city officials. |
