| Obverse description | The left half of the note is occupied by a detailed line-art vignette of the Sanct Annen-Kapelle (St. Anne's Chapel), set among trees, with the caption "Sanct Annen-Kapelle" below; the vignette is framed by a decorative border of heart and floral motifs. The right panel carries the town name "Brakel" in ornate Gothic script above the district designation "Kreis Höxter", with the large word "Notgeld" and the denomination "1 M" in bold block numerals. Validity text reads "Gültig bis zum 1. März 1922 / Brakel, den 1. Juni 1921 / Der Magistrat", accompanied by two manuscript signatures and an official circular magistrate seal. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in red, black, and gold, with a central vignette in a triptych-style frame showing a kneeling girl in a red-checked dress praying before a candlelit altar with a Madonna and Child image; flanking flower pots with the letter "K" appear at the base of the altar. To the left and right of the central scene, columns of Low German dialect text narrate the folk legend "Dat Mäken von Brakel", set within decorative borders of stylized flora and geometric patterns typical of the German Notgeld artistic tradition. |
