| Obverse description | Printed in red-brown on cream paper, the note is divided into three vertical panels framed by a dark border. The wide central panel carries an intricate guilloche underprint of interlocking circular rosettes, over which the denomination 'Eine Billion Mark' is printed in large Gothic blackletter script, flanked by two circular municipal seals of the Stadt- und Landkreis Aachen bearing eagle vignettes. Below, the redemption text and issue date 'Aachen, den 12. Oktober 1923' are typeset, with two manuscript signatures above the printed titles of the Oberbürgermeister and the Vorsitzende des Kreisausschusses. The left panel bears the validity and circulation text in vertical orientation, while the right panel carries the series designation and serial number, also printed vertically. |

| Reverse description | Printed in orange-red on cream paper, the reverse is dominated by a large central vignette reproducing a medieval manuscript illumination, rendered in a flat letterpress style, showing a crowded scene of figures gathered beneath a royal tent or pavilion with standards and crosses — likely a reference to the coronation traditions of Aachen as the city of Charlemagne. The denomination 'Eine Billion' is printed in tall Gothic blackletter script vertically along both the left and right margins, framing the central scene within a rectangular ruled border. |
