Meckl.' in a decorative Art Nouveau typographic arrangement, with stylised monogram cartouches at the lower corners. Below, the text states the expiry date of 31 December 1922, the issue date of 18 August 1921, and carries two manuscript signatures on behalf of the city council and the municipal assembly. |

| Reverse description | The upper-left corner carries an intaglio-style portrait bust of the Low German poet Fritz Reuter, bearded and wearing spectacles, within a plain frame. To its right a yellow guilloche-bordered panel contains a Low German prose quotation attributed to 'Fritz Reuter, Urgeschicht von Meckelborg, Kapitel twölf.' The lower half presents six lines of Low German verse in bold black gothic script on ruled red lines, introduced by a large decorative red initial 'A'. At the lower right a square cartouche displays the denomination '25 Pf.' in interlocked red and yellow gothic numerals and letters on a grey ground, and a yellow scroll-wave guilloche band runs along the bottom margin. |
