Obverse description Light blue ground with an elaborate polychrome border of interlaced green laurel-and-fruit braid, red ribbon ties, and bold orange acanthus scrollwork at the corners and sides. A large central yellow cartouche with baroque rocaille surrounds the principal text in black and red letterpress, with two red roses in the lower corners flanking the serial number. Three manuscript signatures appear above their respective title designations, with the artist's credit 'F. Thielemann 1921' inscribed in the lower left margin.

Reverse description Orange ground with the same decorative border of green fruit-and-leaf braid and red ribbon corner squares as the obverse. The central vignette, rendered in a black-and-white woodcut-style illustration, shows three figures in traditional blue cloaks and wide-brimmed hats crossing a dark bridge — a humorous allusion to the local 'Blomberger Schusterlaterne' legend. The denomination 'EINE MARK' is printed vertically in gold on both side panels, while two wreathed yellow roundels bearing the numeral '1' in red anchor the lower corners.
