| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green, black, and red on white paper in a folk-art letterpress style typical of German Notgeld issues. A central vignette enclosed in a ruled frame presents the Harrmann Denkmal (Harrmann Monument), a standing figure on a pedestal surrounded by iron railings and trees, captioned below in block letters. Flanking the vignette are symmetrical foliate scrollwork borders interspersed with stylised red flowers, with the denomination numeral '2 M' in bold Gothic script at centre-bottom; the issuing authority 'NOTGELD DER STADT HOLZMINDEN' appears in large hand-lettered script at upper left and 'ZWEI MARK' at upper right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in red and green on white paper, centred on a letterpress vignette of a modest two-storey timber-framed building with a large tree to its right, identified by the caption 'Bild 1.' as the first image in a series. A decorative ribbon banner at the top bears the inscription 'Die älteste deutsche Baugewerkschule!' (The oldest German building trades school). The town arms of Holzminden appear at lower left and a mason's guild shield at lower right, while the lower border carries the inscription 'Holzminden 1830–38' in red letterpress; the entire composition is framed by bold red foliate scrollwork. |
