| Beschrijving voorzijde | The upper portion of the note carries three vignettes arranged horizontally: at left, a half-timbered building identified as Wilhelm Raabe's birthplace (Wilhelm Raabe's Geburtshaus); at center, a panoramic townscape of Eschershausen in Braunschweig set against rolling hills; and at right, a tower with a monument amid conifers labeled Raabeturm und Denkmal. Below the vignettes, an ornate cartouche with scrollwork frames the validity text and issue date, flanked on both sides by circular denomination medallions reading '1 Mp' in bold Gothic script. A manuscript signature of the issuing authority appears over the legend Der Rat der Stadt. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is dominated by a central rectangular vignette containing a finely engraved left-facing portrait bust of the German author Wilhelm Raabe, his name inscribed beneath in Gothic script. The portrait is set against a densely patterned foliage background rendered in grey and ochre tones, with decorative banner scrolls interwoven through the composition carrying a literary quotation in multiple segments. At the lower left, a lyre motif is visible, while at the lower right an inkwell with quill and manuscript alludes to Raabe's literary legacy. |

Eschershausen is a small town in Lower Saxony, and this note is a product of the notgeld fever that swept German municipalities in 1921 as postwar inflation began outpacing the Reichsbank's ability to supply small-denomination coinage. Cities, towns, and even individual businesses issued their own emergency fractional currency — some with genuine civic need, others frankly aimed at collectors willing to pay face value for pieces they'd never spend.
The DeNG reference places this within the documented series for the issuer, variants 1-5/6 suggesting at least minor plate or printing differences across the run.
