| Obverse description | Ochre-toned voucher printed in black letterpress on plain paper. The upper half is dominated by a large oval cartouche with decorative scrollwork at its corners, enclosing a guilloche underprint over which the bold numeral '1' is set. Below the cartouche, the denomination 'Heller' is rendered in a heavy blackletter typeface, followed by a horizontal rule and the validity inscription in roman type, beneath which the camp name 'Reichenberg' appears in a large blackletter script. The lower portion carries two manuscript-style facsimile signatures above the printed role titles 'Kassamitsperrer' and 'Lagerkommandant', with a typeset serial number at the foot. |

No serial number appears on the reverse. A faint rosette underprint element is visible at the base between the signature blocks. |
