Obverse description The obverse is printed in teal and black on plain paper with an ornate scrollwork border filling the upper field. The central denomination numeral '1' and the word 'MARK' appear within an oval guilloche vignette, flanked on the left by the town arms of Holzminden showing a fortified gate with a lion, and on the right by a heraldic shield bearing a rearing unicorn. A ruled text panel at the lower half carries the validity inscription in italic script, below which appears the issuing authority designation and a manuscript signature, with the printer's imprint running along the bottom margin.

Reverse description The reverse carries a full-colour pictorial vignette in an arched, dotted-rule frame with stylised Art Nouveau corner ornaments, illustrating a scene from the Holzminden marksmen's festival in which uniformed participants perform the traditional flag-swinging ceremony, with a crowd of spectators and tree foliage in the background rendered in green, yellow, and blue tones. Denomination counters '1 M' appear at the lower left and right corners outside the frame. The inscriptions at the upper left and right corners identify the subject matter.
