| Obverse description | The obverse centres on a letterpress vignette of the historic Sternberg townscape rendered in a woodcut-inspired style, with the prominent church tower rising above tightly packed gabled rooftops. Geometric starburst underprint panels occupy the left and right corners, each bearing the denomination numeral '100' in red with black outline. The issuing authority text, a manuscript signature, and a circular red municipal seal appear along the lower margin, with the date '23. Januar 1922' at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a bold woodcut-style vignette reproducing a medieval interior scene after a circa 1492 original, with multiple figures gathered around a table and red highlight accents throughout the composition. Geometric starburst panels in black flank the central image on left and right, each carrying the denomination numeral '100' in red with black outline. A caption below the vignette identifies the depicted historical episode — the 1492 Sternberg host desecration — and the printer's imprint runs along the bottom margin. |
