| Obverse description | Bold Expressionist woodcut-style design printed in dark red, yellow, and black on a red-bordered ground. The central vignette presents a stylised comic figure — a wide-eyed face with an open mouth and a large yellow straw hat, flanked by crossed paintbrushes or artist's tools rendered in yellow and dark brown. To the left, a yellow panel carries a rhyming verse inscription in black letterpress; to the right, the issuer's name is set in bold hand-drawn lettering. The denomination "1.50 M" appears in large yellow-and-black numerals in the lower left and lower right corners. |

| Reverse description | Printed in dark red on cream-white paper in a restrained letterpress and woodcut style. Two caricatured figures — a striding young man carrying a portfolio at left, and a stout tradesman or butcher at right — flank a central text panel bearing a humorous rhyming verse. Scattered vignettes of a sausage on a fork, a dragonfly, and other small illustrative motifs are interspersed among the lines of verse. A dotted border frames the entire composition. |
