The issuing authority 'DER MAGISTRAT' with two facsimile signatures is contained in a dotted ornamental cartouche at lower left, balanced by a redemption notice in a matching cartouche at lower right.

Reverse description The reverse bears no independent printed design; the plain white paper field shows only a faint blind impression of the obverse letterpress elements transmitted through the thin stock, consistent with standard small-denomination German Notgeld production practice of the early 1920s.
