| Obverse description | The left half carries a stone relief vignette of an ornate heraldic coat of arms surrounded by elaborate carved foliage, with a Gothic inscription panel below referencing the West Tower (Westturm) of 1597; artist's signature reads H. Stuntz, Arch. 1921. The right half, printed in rose-red tones, presents a panoramic skyline view of Wangeroog island with church steeples, flagpoles, and seagulls in flight above, surmounted by the Gothic-script heading Nordseebad Wangeroog and the denomination 1,00 Mark. A redemption text in Gothic script at the lower right states that the Gewerbe- u. Handels-Bank Oldenburg, Zweigst. Wangeroog will pay one Mark against this cheque from the holder's account, with the place name Wangeroog and a blank date line; the printer's imprint Druck von Gerhard Stalling Oldenburg appears at the very bottom. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into three vertical panels printed in warm ochre, blue, and green tones. The left panel shows a weathered sea captain at a ship's wheel, pipe in hand, rendered in a coloured lithographic style with the denomination 1 Mark in Gothic script at upper left. The wide central panel presents an open-sea scene with a brown-sailed fishing ketch under way, the artist's signature H. Stuntz Arch. 1921 inscribed at lower right of this panel. The right panel depicts a woman in white dress standing on coastal rocks with arms raised, denomination 1 Mark repeated at upper right; a broad banner along the bottom of all three panels bears the Gothic-script legend Nordseebad Wangeroog. |
