Obverse description Green wavy-line guilloche underprint covers the entire face. The denomination '3 Mark' is rendered in large bold black Fraktur script at centre, with the serial number prefixed 'No.' to the lower left. A dark brown banner cartouche across the lower centre carries a Low German verse quotation attributed to Kohne. Below the cartouche, the issuing authority inscription appears in Fraktur across three lines, followed by the date 'Hannover, 1. Febr. 1922' and a manuscript signature. At the top, the appeal text 'Für des Alters Not empfing dies Geld in schwerer Zeit' is set in two lines of Fraktur letterpress.

Reverse description The reverse is printed in black on a green guilloche ground and is dominated by a bold woodcut-style portrait vignette of Hannoveraner poet Heinrich Sohnrey set at centre, flanked on the left by a vignette of an open book bearing his name and on the right by a sketched architectural tower motif. The engraver's credit 'Chr. Prelie 22' appears within the right vignette. A Low German verse runs above and below the central composition, and the footer carries the series designation and printer's imprint.
