| Obverse description | Multicolour voucher note printed on plain paper, with a decorative border of dotted dots and ornamental corner rosettes in red and black. A large numeral "1" in ornate Art Nouveau style occupies the centre against a pastel guilloche underprint in yellow, green, and red. The text is rendered in a flowing script typical of Hungarian notgeld issues of the period, with the issuer's redemption clause and place-date inscription arranged in horizontal lines across the face. |

| Reverse description | Dark brown and ochre letterpress design with a bold acanthus-leaf and baroque scroll border in gold tones framing the entire field. A central cartouche with a pale blue-grey ground carries the issuer's name in large display capitals, with the denomination numeral "1" and the word "KORONA" set below in bold type at the foot of the cartouche. The overall composition is typical of Hungarian private emergency currency of the early 1920s, combining typographic simplicity with richly ornamental surrounds. |
