| Obverse description | Blue-grey ground with a central arch-shaped vignette in dark burgundy enclosing a yellow allegorical female figure bending gracefully over a tall plant or flowering branch. The denomination legend "Eine Mark" is rendered in ornate Gothic blackletter script to the left and right of the central vignette, with the year "1921" spread across the upper field. A ribbon banner at the base of the arch carries the issuer's name in bold yellow uppercase lettering, while the flanking inscriptions "SPENDE" and "FÜR DIE" appear in white at lower left and right. |

| Reverse description | Yellow ground with an expressionist vignette in blue and dark purple occupying the full centre of the note, rendered in a bold woodcut-like graphic style signed "MAX ESCHLE" at lower centre. The composition shows two groups of agitated male figures — one gesturing dramatically on the left, the other striding on the right — evoking themes of dispute and lamentation. Denomination panels "1 MARK" in large numerals and text appear at upper left and upper right within burgundy cartouches, and a serial number panel is set at the bottom centre in a yellow rectangle. Aphoristic inscriptions in yellow uppercase lettering occupy the lower left and lower right corners. |
