| Obverse description | The upper register carries the issuer title 'Die Stadtsparkasse Paderborn' in Gothic blackletter script, flanked by diamond-shaped vignettes bearing the numeral '2' at left and the 'M' monogram at right, all set against a dark border. Below, a central text panel in cursive script states the payment order for 2 Mark to the bearer, dated Paderborn, den 10.11.1921, with two manuscript signatures above the legend 'Der Magistrat'; oak-leaf ornaments in green appear above the central text. Flanking the central panel are two framed portrait vignettes of Schützenfest marksmen in traditional dress — 'Ferrari' (1831–1840) at left and 'Löffelmann' (1879–1910) at right — executed in a colourful illustrative style by H. Niedieck, 1921. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a large central vignette illustrating a scene from the Paderborn Schützenfest, showing a ceremonial procession with mounted figures, a horse-drawn carriage, ranks of riflemen, flagpoles bearing red-and-black pennants, and a wooded backdrop, captioned 'DAS SCHÜTZENFEST IN PADERBORN' at the top and 'AUFFAHRT DER KÖNIGIN' at the foot of the vignette. The side borders are composed of alternating green oak-leaf motifs and red vertical stripes on a black ground. A decorative upper frieze in red and green displays alternating oak leaves and stylised figures of marksmen alongside the denomination numeral '2' at each corner, with the printer's imprint 'FR. WILH. RUHFUS, DORTM.' printed in red below the central vignette. |
