Obverse description A panoramic vignette of the Nördlingen skyline occupies the upper portion of the note, rendered in a bold woodcut-style illustrative technique with the tall tower of St. Georg's church rising at centre against a dotted arc border. Two flanking panels at lower left and right each carry the value inscription in Gothic letterpress, while the central lower panel bears the issuing authority name in large bold type above a facsimile signature and the title of the Rechtsk. Bürgermeister. A dashed rectangular border frames the entire composition.

Reverse description The reverse is printed in rose-pink and black, with two ornate neoclassical column-and-pedestal vignettes flanking a central text panel set against a light guilloche-style underprint. The central panel carries a multi-line German verse evoking the city's history and beauty, followed by the issuance date and validity statement. A serial number in large bold numerals appears at the foot of the note within a plain rectangular panel.
Reverse lettering Wanderer,
Kennst Du die Stadt
In Bayerns schönen Gefilden,
Nahe dem schwäbischen Land
Und der Donau flüchtigen Wellen?
Nördlingen ist's,
Der ält'sten und schönsten
Städte eine des Reichs.
Komme und schau! Du
Erzählst begeistert von ihr
Dann den Deinen!
Nördlingen, 1. 12. 20.
Dieser Schein gilt bis 31. 3. 21.
