| Obverse description | The face is dominated by a large ornate Gothic numeral '1' set within an elaborate guilloche vignette, flanked by denomination numerals at left and right margins, with the title 'Darlehenskassenschein' in Gothic blackletter script across the top. The issuance date 'Berlin, den 12. August 1914' and the issuing authority 'Reichsschuldenverwaltung' appear in the centre field, above two manuscript facsimile signatures. A blue circular seal bearing the Imperial eagle is applied at lower right, and an anti-counterfeiting warning text occupies a rectangular panel at lower centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in green and displays three interlocking circular guilloche rosettes of fine lathe-work as the central design, with the Imperial eagle bearing a crowned shield at the centre of the middle rosette. The title 'Darlehenskassenschein' runs across the top in Gothic script, with 'Mark' at left and right and the denomination 'Eine Mark' at the foot, all flanked by corner numerals '1'. The overall design relies solely on the intricate guilloche engine-turning without pictorial vignettes. |
