| Obverse description | Green and black letterpress Notgeld note with a thick black border frame. At left, the municipal coat of arms of Ansbach shows three fish swimming through diagonal waves on a shield, with the dates 1221 and 1921 flanking the base. The right portion carries the text of issue in bold black Gothic script, with a red stamped serial number across the centre, and below it the issuing authority, date of issue (12.8.21), a manuscript signature, and the title RECHTSK. 1. BÜRGERMEISTER. |

| Reverse description | Green and black letterpress vignette printed in silhouette style against the green ground. The upper left carries the year 1221 in bold numerals. The central scene renders a medieval scribe or notary hunched over a writing desk, quill in hand, with a hanging oil lamp above, an hourglass to the left, a seated cat at lower right, and a crucifix figure at upper right — all executed as flat black silhouettes evoking the granting of Ansbach's civic charter. A caption panel at the foot of the frame reads DIE URKUNDE. |
