| 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. |

| Reverse description | Red and black Notgeld reverse with a central colour vignette of Schloss Ahrensburg set among trees, captioned 'SCHLOSS AHRENSBURG' in a white panel above. Geometric lattice borders in black and white with red dot accents frame the composition at left and right, with the denomination 'MARK' lettered vertically on each side. Below the vignette, a broad red band carries a four-line verse in Low German Fraktur script, attributed in a caption line to the third strophe of the poem 'Use Vaterland' by Dr. Bensen. |
