| Obverse description | Printed in blue and green, the obverse presents a central vignette of two male workers in work attire, flanking a large ornate padlock — an allusion to Velbert's lock-making industry — with crossed keys arranged in the foreground. The city's industrial skyline is rendered as a dark silhouette across the upper background, surmounted by a ribbon cartouche inscribed "VELBERT"; the denomination numerals "20" appear within guilloche rosettes at the upper corners. The denomination in German script lettering "Zwanzig Mark" is set within a foliate cartouche at the lower centre, with holly-leaf sprigs filling the lower corners, and heraldic shields suspended from the outer flanking rosettes. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in blue on a green guilloche border with scroll ornamentation framing the entire note. A central diamond-shaped cartouche carries the full text of the voucher obligation in German Kurrent script, headed by the word "Gutschein" and the denomination "Zwanzig Mark" in ornate lettering; the issuance date of Velbert, 3 November 1918, and the validating signature of the Bürgermeister appear below the main text. A red typeset serial number is positioned at the upper right of the central field, and a blue official town stamp is impressed at the lower right. |
