| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in teal-green and black on cream paper, with bold acanthus-scroll vignettes in the left and right lateral panels, each surmounted by the denomination letter 'M'. The central vignette, signed 'Wh. Lippert' at lower right, shows a kneeling medieval page in coloured robes presenting a tray with grapes and a goblet against a swirling guilloche underprint background. A handwritten-style legend in a cartouche at the top states the cheque obligation of the Stadtbank Grünberg, the denomination '1 Mark' is set in script below it, and the town name 'Grünberg in Schl.' appears in Gothic lettering at the foot; account designation 'Konto I' and the serial number occupy the lower corners. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in teal-green and black on cream paper, with matching acanthus-scroll lateral panels bearing the denomination letter 'M' at top and bottom. The central vignette, signed 'W.H. Lippert' at lower right, presents a silhouette scene of an elderly gentleman with a tricorn hat and cane facing a group of five children, rendered in solid black in the manner of a Scherenschnitt paper-cut. The heading 'Grünberg in Sch.' is flanked by the phrases 'Obst- und' and 'Wein-Stadt', and a three-line quotation in Gothic script below the vignette reads the well-known exchange about cloth-weavers' boys; the imprint 'D.R.G.M. 795679 u. D.R.P. angemeldet.' appears at the foot. |
