Obverse description The central vignette, set within an arched frame, presents a kneeling medieval page in colourful costume offering a tray bearing fruit and a goblet, rendered in a bold Art Nouveau lithographic style against a swirling foliate underprint. Flanking vertical panels carry elaborate teal and black acanthus-scroll ornaments with the denomination '1,50 M' repeated at upper left and upper right. The issuer's payment text appears in a banner above the arch, with 'Grünberg in Schl.' lettered in decorative script below the central vignette, and the account designation 'Konto I' with a serial number in the lower corners.

Reverse description The central vignette is rendered as a black silhouette scene set before a bookshop ('Buchhandlung') sign, showing a bookseller leaning over a counter presenting an open volume to a stout female customer clutching eggs, with a small dog at her feet — a humorous local genre scene alluding to Grünberg's trade in wine and wool rather than books. Teal acanthus-scroll ornamental panels frame the composition on either side, with the denomination '1,50 M' at the upper corners. A lower text panel carries a local dialect quotation in decorative Fraktur script, and the designer's monogram 'W.H. Lippert' appears at lower right within the central frame.
