| Beschrijving keerzijde | A full-colour lithographed vignette fills the note face, presenting a view of the Russian Orthodox chapel within the Lichtenhorst camp: a brick-built structure with an onion dome surmounted by an Orthodox cross rises above a square clock tower, surrounded by tall poplars and leafy trees. A caption 'Russ. Kapelle' appears in the lower right corner of the vignette. The entire composition is enclosed within the same ornamental border of red and yellow oval devices as the obverse, with no denomination text on this side. |

| Opmerkingen |
Lichtenhorst was a World War One prisoner-of-war camp in the Hanover region, and its Kantinen Verwaltung — the canteen administration — issued these Mark notes as internal scrip to control purchasing within the camp's own facilities. The system was deliberate: regular German currency was prohibited among prisoners precisely to limit the ability to bribe guards or fund escape attempts, so camp-specific currency became the legally sanctioned substitute across dozens of German POW installations.
The DeNG reference places this within the broader catalogued series of German internment camp issues, nine variant listings for this denomination alone — differences likely tied to print runs, handstamp variations, or sequential authorization batches rather than any substantive redesign.
