| Obverse description | Dark decorative border with stylised wave and scroll ornaments frames the entire note. At centre, a vignette of the Marne church is set against a red cross-shaped underprint, flanked by trees rendered in yellow-green; denomination numerals '1 M' appear in white on red panels at left and right. A circular medallion at lower centre bears the parish seal of 'Dat Karspel to Marne' with figures of St. Mary Magdalene and St. Matthew in traditional dress, inscribed 'Sta Marte Magdalena' and 'Sanctus Matthaus'; two facsimile signatures and the legend 'Stadt Marne – Dithmarschen' appear below the medallion. |

| Reverse description | A bold expressionist composition in dark violet, red, and green tones fills the reverse. At centre, a large circular seal inscribed 'SIGILLVM VNIVERSITATIS TERRE THEIMARGIAE' encloses a group of sacred figures; a warrior with a sword stands to the left and a bearded elder to the right, each backed by a crowd of armed men, evoking the medieval Dithmarschen peasant republic. The denomination '1 Mark' is printed in black on a green rectangular panel at the top, with the serial number and validity date 'Gültig bis 1. Jan. 1922' along the lower margin. |
