| Obverse lettering | Die Hallig Oland zahlt für diesen Schein eine Mark für die Dauer seiner Gültigkeit, welche mit dem 1. Mai 1922 erlischt. Hallig Oland, den 22. August 1921 Der Gemeindevorsteher: 1 Mk |
| Reverse description | The reverse is framed by an orange outer border with lateral panels in green and orange bearing shell motifs above and below oval vignettes of a female figure in relief. The central field is dominated by a large intaglio-style landscape vignette rendered in dark brown, showing the Hallig island under a dramatic stormy sky with billowing clouds, crashing waves in the foreground, thatched farmhouses on a raised mound, seabirds in flight, and the mast of a sailing vessel to the right. Below the vignette, a two-column poem in gothic script is printed in black, with denomination boxes '1 Mk' at the lower left and right corners. |
| Reverse lettering | Es brüllen die Wellen mit schäumender Wut, Die Winde heulen, es schwillt die Flut. Doch mögen die Wolken und Winde toben, Die Fischer, sie blicken vertrauend nach oben. Denn der über Wolken und Winde thront, Die Hütten der Armen er gnädig verschont. 1 Mk |
