| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in grey-green and ochre tones, with a decorative chain border enclosing an orange header band bearing the issuer's title at top and denomination numeral '1' in corner cartouches. A central oval vignette presents a traditionally dressed peasant woman holding a sheaf of grain, set before a half-timbered Odenwald farmhouse, flanked by symmetrical arrangements of wheat ears, roses, and fruit in orange underprint. Redemption text in Gothic script flanks the vignette on either side, with the place and date 'Erbach i. Odw. im Nov. 1918' at centre-bottom, a facsimile signature to the lower right, and a circular heraldic lion watermark stamp to the lower left. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in matching grey-green and ochre tones with the same decorative chain border and orange header band repeating the issuer's title. A rectangular central vignette, framed in orange, depicts a watermill with a large wheel beside a rural stone building set among trees, rendered in fine letterpress line work. The denomination is expressed in large Gothic script as 'Eine Mark' flanking the vignette, with numeral '1' in each corner; an ornamental garland of fruit, grain ears, and foliage surrounds the vignette above and below, and the standard counterfeiting penalty text appears in the lower orange border band. |
