The upper register is filled with elaborately drawn birds — a crane or heron at upper left and a winged creature at upper right — rendered in fine crosshatch. At lower left and lower right, putti figures recline among foliage, and a small bird appears at lower centre; the caption SPEERWERFEN is printed below the central vignette, and the printer's imprint KUNSTANST. EDUARD BINDER, CELLE. runs along the bottom margin, with the artist's signature König-Eschede at lower left. |

| Comments |
Sportverein Eintracht was a local sports club in Celle, Lower Saxony, issuing this 1 Mark note during the notgeld period of 1921 — when German municipalities, businesses, and even private associations printed their own emergency scrip to compensate for a chronic shortage of official small-denomination currency. The printer, Kunstanstalt Eduard Binder, was a Celle-based commercial art press that produced notgeld for several local issuers in the region.
The designer credit to König-Eschede is notable — Eschede is a small town northeast of Celle, suggesting a local commercial artist rather than a professional banknote engraver.
