| Obverse description | The central field carries the coat of arms of Attendorn — a black cross on a white shield with a crescent — surmounted by a stylised city gate with battlements, all printed in blue and black on a warm ochre ground. Flanking vignettes in vertical panels depict the Bieckerturm (left) and the Pulverturm (right), two medieval towers of the town, rendered in a fine pen-and-ink illustrative style. The denomination '5 Mark' is set in bold Gothic lettering to the right of the arms, with the issuing legend 'die Städtische Sparkasse Attendorn i/W.' arched across the top and the payment clause 'zahle gegen diesen Scheck aus meinem Guthaben an den Inhaber' beneath it. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a large panoramic scene of 'Der Zillertanz', a traditional folk dance pageant held in the town square before a Gothic church façade, with crowds of participants and spectators rendered in detailed multicolour lithography. Identical armoured knight cartouches labelled 'Isenkoppe' occupy the flanking vertical panels on both sides, each topped by crossed banners and a crescent-and-star device. The heading '700jähriges Stadtjubiläum' with the dates '1222' and '1922' spans the top border, commemorating the 700th anniversary of Attendorn's civic charter, while the title 'Der Zillertanz' appears in a bold Gothic banner at the foot. |
