| Obverse description | The note is divided into three vertical panels on a rose-pink ground with a dark outer border and yellow inner frame. The left and right panels each carry a diamond-shaped vignette enclosing the numeral '1' over 'MARK', with geometric lattice ornaments, flanked by the town name 'HALTERN' at top and 'EINE MARK' at bottom. The central panel presents a full-colour letterpress street scene of a historic Haltern lane with a round medieval stone tower, half-timbered buildings, and townsfolk in period dress. A humorous verse in small type runs along the lower margin, and the designer's name 'KORBER' appears in the lower right corner of the central vignette. |

| Obverse lettering | HALTERN EINE MARK 1 MARK Wer binnen 24 Stunden sein Bürgergeld nicht abholt, dem wird's zur Strafe in's Haus gebracht. |
| Reverse description | The reverse is set entirely within a dark outer border and yellow inner frame on a rose-pink cross-hatched ground. The upper portion carries the main text in bold letterpress Gothic type, followed by the issue date and a manuscript facsimile signature of the Magistrat. A large grey watermark-style overprint reading 'Eingelöst' (redeemed) crosses the centre field diagonally. The lower half is occupied by an eight-line rhyming verse in German explaining the necessity of the Notgeld issue, and the printer's imprint 'FR. WILH. RUHFUS, DORTMUND 58766' appears below the outer frame. |
