Obverse description The central vignette presents the municipal coat of arms in red and black, showing an armoured knight on horseback within a heraldic shield surmounted by a plumed helm, framed by decorative scrollwork mantling. Text panels in Low German dialect appear to the left and right of the arms, with validity and redemption conditions inscribed in German script to the right, dated Albersdorf, 1 January 1922, and bearing a manuscript signature below. The denomination '2 Mark' appears in the upper corners, with the serial number in a ruled panel at the foot, and the issuer legend in Gothic blackletter along the lower margin.

Reverse description The entire face of the reverse is occupied by a polychrome topographical vignette rendered in a folk-art lithographic style, presenting a panoramic view of Bad Albersdorf nestled among dense woodland, with red-roofed village buildings visible through the tree canopy and a tall, slender church steeple rising prominently above the treeline against a clouded sky. Oak-leaf and acorn decorative borders in dark green and black frame the composition on both sides. The denomination '2 Mark' appears in Gothic script at the upper left, and the issuer name in bold blackletter occupies the lower margin.
