Obverse description Pink and olive-green Notgeld note with a fine guilloche underprint across the entire field. A decorative scroll banner at the top bears the issuing authority inscription. At centre, the municipal coat of arms — a crowned stag passant within a heraldic shield dated 1400, encircled by a wreath of wheat ears — is flanked left and right by hexagonal cartouches each bearing the denomination '1 Mark'. A lower text panel in Gothic script carries the validity clause, place, date, and a manuscript signature for the Magistrat.

Reverse description Pink guilloche underprint covers the entire field, with diamond-shaped denomination cartouches at upper left and right each inscribed '1 Mark'. The central vignette presents a letterpress view of the Labes market square, framed by an arch of stylised wheat sheaves, with townspeople and buildings rendered in fine line engraving. Two oval orange-brown decorative elements flank the central vignette at left and right. A lower text panel in Gothic script contains a verse in Low German dialect.

Ein Labyser Schuster möckt Stärwel un Schkurrens-
so hädu hei ok Gild un breukt nich tau schnurren
Sien Hammer, Nägel und Pickdroht paßten woll tausommen
O käun hei damit in Düstbland all Unheil verbannen.
