| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a bold letterpress title inscription across the top reading NOTGELD d. STADT HOLZMINDEN, below which a central guilloche-bordered oval vignette carries the large green numeral '1' above the denomination MARK. Flanking the central oval are two heraldic shields: at left, the town arms of Holzminden with a castle gate and lion, and at right, a shield bearing a rearing unicorn, both set against a blue-green scrollwork underprint. A ruled lower panel in italic script states the validity conditions and expiry date, with the authorising signature of Der Rat d. Stadt below, and the printer's imprint DRUCK: GEBRÜDER JÄNECKE, HANNOVER. at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a colourful, illustrative vignette within an octagonal gold-beaded border set against a pale green scrollwork underprint, portraying a scene from the Holzminden Schützenfest: a rider on a dappled horse leads a procession accompanied by top-hatted musicians with brass instruments and a drum, while a barefoot child runs alongside a decorated pine tree with a flag in the background. The denomination '1 M' appears in each lower corner, and the title inscriptions HOLZMINDENER SCHÜTZENFEST at upper left and ZAPFENSTREICH (BILD 1) at upper right identify the scene as the first image in a series illustrating the local marksmen's festival tattoo. |
