| Obverse description | The obverse is printed on a cream ground with an orange border frame. A central vignette presents the heraldic arms of Alsfeld — a crowned lion rampant on a quartered shield with elaborate red mantling — flanked on either side by the denomination numerals '100' and the abbreviation 'Pfg' in bold Gothic letterpress. A ribbon scroll at the top carries the commemorative inscription '700 Jahrfeier der Stadt Alsfeld' with the founding and issue years '1222' and '1922' placed to either side of the arms. Below the vignette, the place and date of issue appear in Gothic script, followed by the title 'Der Bürgermeister:' with a manuscript signature. The printer's imprint 'Scharfes Druckereien Wetzlar' appears in the lower right margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vibrant multicolour folk-art vignette in a naive illustrative style, showing a traditional wedding party from the Schwalm region in regional costume. At the centre, a bride and groom in ornate Schwalm folk dress stand before a half-timbered house and church steeple; two female figures in wide blue skirts and red headdresses flank the scene, each raising flowering branches that form a decorative wreath border around the entire composition. A legend in curved letterpress identifies the scene along the lower margin. |
