| Obverse description | Cream-coloured note with a green crosshatch guilloche underprint covering the entire field. At upper left, an embossed coat of arms of Westerland showing a fortified tower with a lighthouse, set within a plain rectangular frame. The denomination 'EINE MARK' is rendered in large blackletter script across the centre, with the numeral '1' enclosed in an ornate cartouche of scrollwork and rosettes. A serial number appears in the upper right within a ruled box, and two manuscript signatures are placed below the issuer's name. At the foot, a legal redemption clause is printed in small roman type, with the printer's imprint along the bottom edge. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely covered by a repetitive green geometric guilloche underprint on cream paper, composed of interlocking circular and quatrefoil rosette elements arranged in a dense all-over pattern within a simple ruled border. In the lower right corner, the city coat of arms — a fortified tower with lighthouse — is printed in the same green ink as a secondary vignette. No text or denomination appears on this side. |
