| Reverse description | The reverse carries a full-colour pictorial vignette in an arched, dotted-rule frame with stylised Art Nouveau corner ornaments, illustrating a scene from the Holzminden marksmen's festival in which uniformed participants perform the traditional flag-swinging ceremony, with a crowd of spectators and tree foliage in the background rendered in green, yellow, and blue tones. Denomination counters '1 M' appear at the lower left and right corners outside the frame. The inscriptions at the upper left and right corners identify the subject matter. |

Holzminden's municipal treasury — the Stadtkasse — issued this 1 Mark note as emergency money (Notgeld) during the acute coin shortage that gripped Germany in the early First World War years. Gebrüder Jänecke was a Hannover-based printing and lithography firm with deep roots in commercial printing, a natural choice for municipal authorities who needed reliable short-run work without engaging the large state security printers.
The DeNG reference places this within the dense cataloguing of German local issues, where Holzminden appears among dozens of Lower Saxony towns that resorted to paper fractions when Reichsbank coin simply stopped reaching smaller communities.
