| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly coloured multicolour vignette in an Art Nouveau style, enclosed by a zigzag border in red, teal, and cream. A large stylised oak tree, rendered in black outline against the tan ground, spreads its canopy across the upper portion, flanking a central red banner cartouche bearing the denomination '1 · MARK' in bold lettering. Beneath the tree trunk, the quartered arms of Schleswig-Holstein appear in an ornate shield, flanked by two landscape vignettes — a sandy coastal dune scene to the left and a chalk cliff with a winding shoreline to the right — both rendered in teal and ochre tones; the inscription 'HOLSTEIN' runs across the top margin in large capital letters, and a small artist's signature 'Holtz' is visible at lower centre. |

| Comments |
The Landesbürgerrat Schleswig-Holstein was a provisional civil council established in the wake of the 1920 Schleswig plebiscite, which split the duchy between Denmark and Germany along zones determined by popular vote. Zone 2, which voted to remain German, required transitional administrative structures while the Weimar Republic absorbed the territory — this note belongs to that brief, awkward interval when ordinary Reichskasse instruments weren't yet reaching the region reliably enough for daily commerce.
The DeNG 2 catalog covers precisely this class of provisional German notgeld with regional governmental authority behind it, distinguishing it from purely municipal or commercial emergency issues of the same period.
