| Obverse description | The obverse carries a central heraldic vignette of the quartered Schleswig-Holstein coat of arms — a blue lion on the left half and the Holstein nettle-leaf on the right — flanked by two decorative banners in red-white and blue-white, suspended from vertical poles against a geometric diamond underprint. The denomination numeral '1' appears in blue at lower left and right, with 'MARK' overprinted in red below each. A scrolled ribbon at the top bears the issuer's name in Gothic blackletter script, while a two-line validity inscription in Fraktur runs along the lower portion, dated 31 Oktober 1921 and 1 Mai 1922, above a manuscript signature of the Kirchenvorstand. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a horizontal landscape vignette in brown letterpress, showing a low thatched farmhouse with a flagpole flying the Danish tricolour, a church spire rising among trees to the left, and an open flat marshland in the foreground — an evocative reference to the North Schleswig border region. Denomination numerals '1' in red appear at lower left and right flanked by crosshair rosettes, with 'MARK' in large teal capital letters below. A four-line verse in Gothic script occupies the lower centre, and the printer's imprint 'Aug. Westphalen, Flensburg' is set at the very foot of the note. Ornamental foliate corner pieces frame the teal border. |
