| Obverse description | Cream ground with a green outer border and an oak-leaf-and-acorn garland framing the entire face. To the left, a heraldic vignette shows the red-crowned municipal arms of Westerland with a lighthouse motif on a cartouche. A central red-bordered panel carries the denomination in Gothic script above four lines of German text in Kurrent hand, with the date 'Westerland, den 14. März 1920' at the lower right of the panel. Below the panel appear two manuscript facsimile signatures above their printed titles 'Bürgermeister' and 'Ratmann', flanking a serial-number box in the lower right. |

| Obverse lettering | Zwei Mark Dieser Schein verliert seine Gültigkeit einen Monat nach erfolgter öffentlicher Bekanntmachung. Westerland, den 14. März 1920 Bürgermeister Ratmann |
| Reverse description | Bold red banner across the top carries the patriotic slogan 'Sylt bleibt deutsch' in large white Gothic lettering. The central vignette presents a coloured scene of the island of Sylt rendered as a green landmass surrounded by sea, with figures raising the black-white-red tricolour flags of the German Empire; a crowd of figures with raised arms appears at lower right. Vertical decorative columns of oak-leaf ornament flank both sides, and the lower margin bears the denomination '2 Mark' in red numerals at each corner with the issuer legend 'Notgeld der Stadt Westerland-Sylt' at centre, above the printer's imprint. |
