| Obverse description | The central vignette presents a nude male athlete in motion, holding an olive branch aloft, set against a stylised red underprint of the Hamburg coat of arms with its distinctive castle towers and white stars. A tall Ionic column rises behind the figure, framing the composition in a classical manner. The lower portion carries the denomination value of 1 Mark within a dark circular cartouche, flanked on both sides by the redemption clause text, with a foliate border enclosing the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large sculptural vignette of the Hamburg coat of arms rendered in a three-dimensional style, with two rampant lions flanking a central castle tower surmounted by a cross, set against a panoramic background of Hamburg's harbour with sailing vessels and city spires. A horizontal tricolour band in black, white, and red — the German merchant ensign colours — runs beneath the heraldic group, and the denomination 1 Mark appears within a dark circular cartouche at centre. The composition is framed by a ruled border with pilaster elements at the sides. |
