| Obverse description | Yellow-toned note with a central polychrome vignette of two soldiers — one in German uniform at left, one in Allied uniform at right — each holding a rifle and raising a fan of national flags (including French tricolour and British White Ensign) above a calm waterway with sailing vessels and a rising sun over a treeline. The upper panel carries the denomination and issuer name in bold letterpress, with a manuscript serial number to the right. Corner vignettes display the flags of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. The lower panel bears the place name, date, a facsimile signature, and the title of the municipal head. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into two side-by-side polychrome vignettes separated by a thin rule. The left scene shows a farmer standing defiantly beside a black-white-red German imperial flag planted in an open field with a farmstead in the distance; the right scene shows jubilant townspeople raising the Danish Dannebrog flag on a flagpole before a thatched farmhouse, with a rising sun in the upper right corner. Lettering in Gothic blackletter script fills the lower margins of both panels, referencing the Schleswig plebiscite of 10 February 1920. |
