| Obverse description | A full-colour lithographed vignette occupies the upper portion of the note, presenting a perspective view of the prisoner-of-war camp at Lichtenhorst: a central dirt road flanked by a narrow-gauge railway track recedes into the distance, with rows of barrack buildings under red roofs on either side, set among trees and fencing. The denomination panels '1 Mark' appear in white cartouches at the upper left and upper right corners, with the place name 'Lichtenhorst' in bold Gothic lettering across the top. The lower portion carries a white text panel with the canteen voucher inscription, the numeral '1' in large type, and a manuscript signature above the issuing authority line, all enclosed within an ornamental border of red and yellow oval devices. |

| Reverse description | A full-colour lithographed vignette fills the note face, presenting a view of the Russian Orthodox chapel within the Lichtenhorst camp: a brick-built structure with an onion dome surmounted by an Orthodox cross rises above a square clock tower, surrounded by tall poplars and leafy trees. A caption 'Russ. Kapelle' appears in the lower right corner of the vignette. The entire composition is enclosed within the same ornamental border of red and yellow oval devices as the obverse, with no denomination text on this side. |
