Obverse description The obverse is dominated by a central allegorical vignette in ochre and dark ink, composed in a classical style and signed by König-Eschede, showing a standing male athletic figure flanked by two seated female figures with animals at their feet, set against radiating sunbeams. To the upper left, the commemorative inscription runs in large Art Nouveau lettering across a dark ground, with the date '1. DEZEMBER 1921' inscribed beneath the central vignette. The upper right bears the Celle city arms within a circular medallion, alongside a serpentine decorative element, and the lower margin carries the donation legend 'SPENDE FÜR EINEN SPORTPLATZ' with two manuscript signatures above the designations '1. VORSITZENDER' and '2. VORSITZENDER'.
Obverse lettering ZUR ERINNERUNG AN DIE VEREINIGUNG DER SPORTVEREINE EINTRACHT VON 1919 UND S.V. VON 1910 E.V. / 1. DEZEMBER 1921 / SPENDE FÜR EINEN SPORTPLATZ / 1. VORSITZENDER / 2. VORSITZENDER / CELLE
Reverse description The reverse is printed in a tricolour scheme of ochre, steel blue, and dark ink, with the denomination 'DR 3 EI MARK' rendered in large bold letterpress type on both the left and right panels against a dark decorative ground. The central vignette, again signed by König-Eschede, presents a foot-race scene in ochre tones, with a male runner breaking through a finish line flanked by a woman and child before a stylised townscape and radiating sky. Winged mythological figures occupy the upper corners, while reclining putti appear at the lower corners amid wave-like ornamental borders, and the word 'WETTLAUFEN' is inscribed prominently along the lower edge of the central panel.
