| Obverse description | Printed in red-brown on cream paper, the obverse is framed by an ornate leafy guilloche border with stylized floral corner ornaments. A central vignette presents a view of the medieval Bitburg town gate with its distinctive round tower and conical roof, surrounded by foliage, above which the issuer inscription 'Kreis Bitburg' is set in Gothic script. The denomination '1000 Mark' appears in large Gothic letterpress type on both lateral margins, with 'Tausend Mark' rendered in bold decorative script along the lower portion; the date 'Bitburg, 15. Februar 1923', the facsimile signature of the Landrat, and a handwritten series and serial number occupy the right field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in the same red-brown ink and displays a symmetrical geometric design centered on a cross-shaped guilloche panel bearing the denomination '1000 Mark' in Gothic script. The four quadrants of the border are filled with elaborate acanthus-leaf and radiating starburst motifs, with diamond-shaped underprint panels carrying the numeral '1000' repeated along the lateral edges, creating a densely patterned decorative composition. |
