| Obverse description | A panoramic vignette of the Hüls townscape spans the central field, rendered in a lithographic illustrative style with church steeples rising above bare winter trees against a warm amber sky. The denomination '1 Mk.' appears in bold Gothic lettering in yellow boxes at the upper left and right corners, flanking the header inscription 'Gutschein der Gemeinde Hüls'. At lower left, a yellow panel bears the numeral '1' and the word 'Mark', while the lower centre carries the validity text and the facsimile signature of Bürgermeister Heinrichs, with the issuing place and date 'Hüls bei Crefeld, 1. Nov. 21'. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette, signed by the artist H. Vosthoff, illustrates a poignant post-war scene: a fallen German soldier in field-grey uniform prostrated before a white grave cross, with an abandoned artillery piece at left and a rural chapel amid trees in the background, all rendered in a restrained colour lithograph. The header panel in Gothic script reads 'Hülser Gutschein' flanked by '1 Mk.' denomination boxes in yellow. Below the vignette, two columns of text carry a dialect verse epitaph in Lower Rhine German. |
