| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse carries a bold expressionist-style vignette in black ink on cream paper, depicting the so-called 'Lübsche Adler' (Lübeck Eagle) rendered as a grotesque double-headed bird biting its own tail in a circular composition, evoking a local heraldic motif treated with satirical humour. A red horizontal bar separates the vignette from the caption text below. The artist's signature 'A. Mahlau' appears within the vignette, and the printer's imprint is at the foot. |

Alfred Mahlau was a central figure in Lübeck's graphic arts scene, later closely associated with the Werkkunstschule there — his involvement in even a minor municipal emergency note speaks to how seriously some German cities approached notgeld design during the postwar coin shortage. Gebrüder Borchers was a local Lübeck printer, so this note was conceived, designed, and produced entirely within the city.
At 44 × 36 mm, it is among the smallest notgeld pieces issued anywhere in the 1921 wave — closer to a postage stamp than a banknote.
