The obverse carries the municipal designation and denomination in bold letterpress typography, with the issuing authority identified as the Stadt Karlshafen. A decorative border frames the central text panel, typical of German Notgeld emergency currency of the First World War era, with the denomination '1 Mark' rendered in a prominent typeface against a lightly printed underprint. |

A simple typographic border encloses the legal text panel, with the printer's imprint of Gebrüder Gotthelft, Cassel, appearing in the lower margin. |

Karlshafen — formally Bad Karlshafen — is a small Weser River town in Hesse-Kassel founded in 1699 by Landgrave Karl of Hesse to resettle French Huguenot refugees. The town never grew into the major inland port its founder envisioned, and by the time municipal emergency money became necessary during the Weimar-era Notgeld wave, it remained a minor administrative center. That smallness matters: Stadtnotgeld from genuinely small issuers like this one typically had short print runs and even shorter circulation lives.
Gebrüder Gotthelft in Cassel were among the busier regional printers handling Hessian Notgeld commissions during 1918–1922.
