| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green, olive, and red on a light ground, framed by a bold orange border enclosing a green guilloche band. At the top centre, the issuer name 'Die Hallig Oland' appears in decorative red Fraktur script with a dark shadow outline. The central vignette presents a schematic map of the Hallig Oland tidal islet rendered in green, with its characteristic irregular coastline. Below the map, the text of the obligation and the place-date 'Hallig Oland, den 22. August 1921' are set in Fraktur, with a manuscript signature of the Gemeindevorsteher (community head) to the lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in green, brick-red, and brown on a light ground, enclosed by an orange outer border. The upper legend 'Notgeld der Hallig Oland:' is set in bold black Fraktur across the top. The central vignette shows a vaulted brick archway through which an elderly Frisian fisherman or islander in traditional white hooded garb stands, holding a telescope or instrument; above the arch a scroll banner carries the North Frisian motto 'LIEVER DÜD AS SLAW!'. Flanking the arch are stylised crenellated brick tower motifs in red. The denomination '2 Mark' is repeated in Fraktur at the lower left and lower right corners, separated by a row of ornamental crosses. |
