Obverse description Bold Expressionist letterpress design in black and blue. A large black diamond-shaped lozenge occupies the centre of the note, bearing the oversize numeral '1' above the Mark abbreviation 'M' in white relief with hatched shading. The surrounding blue field carries two text panels in art-nouveau lettering, and the entire composition is enclosed within a heavy black decorative border with the issuing city name 'GERA-REUSS' repeated on all four sides in large stylised capitals, rotated to read along each edge. The issue date, serial number, and a manuscript signature on behalf of Der Stadtrat appear in the lower portion.

Reverse description Richly illustrated vignette in brown and black tones with a blue border and blue denomination numeral at lower right. The central scene renders a crowned medieval figure — an allusion to Heinrich, patron of the city's historical legacy — striding through stylised waves and hauling an anchor, with a sun disc and the silhouette of a Thuringian town skyline visible in the background. The bold inscription 'EMPORGESTIEGEN UNTER' runs across the top, while 'HEINRICHS HERRLICHKEIT' is set in large block capitals along the lower margin.
