| Obverse description | The obverse carries a central landscape vignette in brown letterpress, rendered in fine line engraving style, showing the Scheersberg estate with a low farmhouse set beneath large deciduous trees and figures seated at outdoor tables; to the right, the Bismarckturm tower is visible with its pointed spire. A caption below the vignette reads 'Scheersberg, Höchster u. schönster Punkt in Angeln.' The upper portion bears the issuer's title in Gothic script, flanked at each corner by 'EINE MARK' panels in black on white, while the lower corners carry stylised '1 M' monogram cartouches in salmon-red; a serial number and validity date appear in the lower centre panel alongside two manuscript signatures. |

| Obverse lettering | EINE MARK Gutschein der Gemeinden Quern Scheersberg, Höchster u. schönster Punkt in Angeln. Bismarckturm. No Gültig bis zum 30. Septbr. 1921. |
| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a central vignette presenting a panoramic sightline diagram as seen from the Bismarckturm on the Scheersberg, with the tower rendered in the centre and radiating lines extending outward to named localities across the Angeln region and into Neu-Dänemark; place names are inscribed along each radial line in small letterpress text. Flanking the central panel on both left and right are tall vertical black cartouches with white lettering reading 'Gemeinden Quern' above a stylised 'M' monogram, set within salmon-red and olive-green decorative borders with scrollwork underprint. The overall colour scheme of salmon-red, olive-green, and black gives the design a distinctive regional Notgeld character. |
