| 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. |

| Comments |
Holzminden's wartime Notgeld issues were produced by Gebrüder Jänecke, one of Hannover's established commercial printers with a long history in lithographic work. The firm handled a considerable volume of municipal emergency currency during the First World War period, which gives these Stadt Holzminden pieces a consistent production quality not always found in smaller-town issues.
The DeNG reference suffix variants (.1 through .4) indicate the series ran across multiple dates or minor printing differences catalogued separately — worth checking against the specific date before attributing to a sub-type.
