| Obverse description | Orange-tinted notgeld with a bold, stylized red numeral '20' as the central vignette, surrounded by radiating sun-ray lines printed in red. The validity inscription arches across the top in a decorative hand-lettered style, with the issuing authority 'Stadtkasse Lübeck' and date of issue 'Lübeck, 1. April 1921' in black letterpress at the foot. A facsimile signature appears at lower right, and the designer's initials 'A.M.' are visible at lower left. |

| Reverse description | Orange-tinted reverse with a woodcut-style illustration, signed 'A. MAHLAU' at upper right, showing a grotesque hatchling eagle — the legendary 'Lübsche Adler' — confronting a top-hatted burgher who holds a shield bearing the red-and-white Lübeck civic arms. The scene is rendered in bold black line work with a red accent on the shield, printed over a wood-grain guilloche underprint. A two-line caption in black letterpress runs along the lower margin, with the printer's imprint below. |
