| Obverse description | Green-toned Notgeld issued for the Jäger Appell in Bückeburg on 1 and 2 October 1921, with a central vignette of a tree-lined avenue leading to Bückeburg Palace, flanked by a sentry box with a uniformed guard at left and heraldic devices — a flag-topped shield and a stag skull — at the upper corners. A bold red horizontal band carries the event inscription in black letterpress, below which a yellow panel contains the redemption notice text, serial number, and manuscript signatures; the denomination '1 MK' appears in large gothic numerals at each side, with the legend repeated along the top and bottom borders. |

| Comments |
Bückeburg was the capital of the tiny state of Schaumburg-Lippe, and this 1921 note is a product of the Kleingeldschein emergency — the acute small-change famine that followed Germany's postwar coin hoarding. H.M. Hauschild in Bremen was one of the more prolific regional printers of Notgeld, supplying dozens of municipalities across northwestern Germany during this period.
The DeNG reference distinguishes multiple variants within this issue, suggesting the city ordered successive printings as demand continued.
