| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green, blue, gold, and red by offset lithography. At the top, the denomination "Eine Mark" appears in large Gothic script on a dark blue banner. The centre is occupied by the municipal coat of arms of Brunsbüttelkoog — a quartered shield with a sailing vessel over stylised waves in the upper half and a white rearing horse with rider on a red field in the lower half — framed by elaborate gold cartouche scrollwork. Flanking the central vignette are two oval value medallions each bearing the numeral "1" over the Mark monogram, with German text panels stating that redemption is effected through members of the association and the Schleswig-Holsteinische Bank in Brunsbüttelkoog. The serial number and the expiry notice appear at the foot of the note. |

| Comments |
Brunsbüttelkoog in 1922 was still a modest industrial settlement on the Elbe estuary, decades before the Kiel Canal expansion that would transform it into a major port. The issuing body — a trade and industry association rather than a municipal authority or bank — reflects how localized Germany's notgeld network had become by the hyperinflation years, with commercial organizations issuing their own emergency fractional currency simply to keep wages moving when coin had vanished entirely.
Gebrüder Parcus of Munich printed an enormous volume of notgeld commissions during this period, producing for hundreds of small issuers across Bavaria and beyond.
