Obverse description The obverse is printed in blue and black on cream paper, framed by a decorative Art Nouveau border with scrollwork and floral motifs. At centre, the municipal coat of arms of Schneidemühl — a shield bearing a leaping stag surmounted by a mural crown — is flanked by two oval denomination cartouches reading '1 M.' on each side. To the left, a text panel in Gothic script instructs payment to the bearer from the holder's account, while the lower left bears the account designation 'Konto B' and a serial number appears at lower right.

Reverse description The reverse is rendered in blue and black, with a dark background and thistle-and-oak-leaf decorative borders at the sides. A central oval vignette presents a panoramic scene of the 1893 well disaster in Schneidemühl, showing a collapsed building to the left, a dramatic central water geyser erupting from the ground, and a church with townhouses visible to the right. Below the vignette, a light rectangular panel carries the identifying inscription in bold lettering.
