| Obverse description | Printed in dark green and ochre/gold on plain paper, the note is framed by an ornate interlaced border with corner rosettes. At the top centre, a small oval vignette contains a robed female figure, likely a Marian allegory, flanked by a four-line rhyming legend in Gothic script. Below, a decorative scroll cartouche carries the denomination '1 Mark' in bold letterpress, with the issuing authority and a facsimile signature of the 1. Bürgermeister at lower right, an anti-counterfeiting warning at lower left, and the expiry date '31. Dez. 1920' along the bottom margin. |

| Reverse description | Printed in full colour on a grey-green ground, the reverse is dominated by a central vignette of a crowned female saint rendered in a medieval Bavarian style, robed in ochre and blue, holding a sword in her right hand and resting her left on a blue heraldic shield charged with a golden eagle — the arms of Prien am Chiemsee. A spinning wheel at her feet alludes to local craft tradition. The denomination '1 Mark' appears in large Gothic numerals in red and black at both left and right flanks, and a flowing ribbon scroll across the top carries the town name. The artist's monogram 'G. E. Reinsdorf' is inscribed in the lower right corner. |
