| Obverse description | The face is printed in black over red-brown and lavender underprints on cream-coloured watermarked paper, enclosed within a decorative typographic border. The name and flag device of the Hugo Stinnes Linien shipping company are positioned to the left, establishing the issuer's identity, while a serial number in red ink appears in the upper left corner. The overall design is restrained and letterpress in character, relying on contrasting ink tones and structured typography rather than pictorial vignettes. |
