| Obverse description | Red-ground letterpress note dated 1921, centred on a stylised Expressionist vignette of a seated female allegorical figure rendered in grey-blue, resting one hand on a chequered tablet and holding a large quill to her right, with a conifer tree behind her. The denomination 'Zwei Mark' is set in large Gothic blackletter across the upper field, flanked by the year digits '1' '9' and '2' '1', while two black banner ribbons at mid-height carry the legends 'SPENDE' at left and 'FÜR DIE' at right. A broad black cartouche across the lower vignette reads 'LIGA ZUM SCHUTZE DER DEUTSCHEN KULTUR', with 'LANDESGRUPPE' at lower left and 'SACHSEN.' at lower right. |

| Reverse description | Dark blue-ground Expressionist composition printed in blue, pink and white, dominated by two dynamic half-length figures in a woodcut style: a male figure at left raises a hammer and a female figure at right wields a tool, both set against a stormy hatched sky with a lightning bolt between them and a small house at centre. Numeral '2' and 'MARK' appear in white at lower left and in red at lower right. Two scrolled banner cartouches along the lower margin carry the aphoristic inscription 'WAS KANN AUS BLUTIGEM HASS' at left and 'EUCH GLÜCKLICHES GEDEIHN' at right, with the serial number and the designer's name 'M. ESCHLE' printed between them. |
