| Obverse description | Brown and blue letterpress Notgeld note with a tripartite layout. The upper legend reads 'Lähn im Riesengebirge' in Gothic script, flanking a central vignette of a peasant girl surrounded by doves in flight — the so-called 'Taubengustel', the heraldic emblem of Lähn — executed in fine illustrative style with artists' names 'Heinz' and 'Schiestl' noted in the lower cartouches. Denomination panels at left and right each display '1 Mr' within blue-accented octagonal frames, with a ribbon banner below reading 'DIE TAUBENGUSTEL, DAS WAHRZEICHEN VON LÄHN'; the lower portion carries the issuing text, the value 'EINE MARK', place name 'Lähn i. Riesengeb.' with series letter 'M', and a serial number at lower left, with the printer's imprint 'FLEMMING-WISKOTT-A.-G.-GLOGAU' below the border. |

The main field below carries a detailed topographic vignette of the Lähn Sanatorium set amid dense foliage and cloudy skies, captioned 'Sanatorium' above the building; a decorative ribbon banner above the central image bears the inscription 'Lähn, die Perle des Bobertales!' The printer's registered design reference 'D.R.G.M. 795679' appears below the outer border. |
