| Obverse description | Notgeld note printed in purple and green on pink-tinted paper, with wavy-line guilloche borders flanking the central vignette panel on both left and right margins, each bearing the numeral "1". The central rectangle contains a heraldic imperial eagle vignette above the denomination "Eine Million Mark" rendered in bold Gothic (Fraktur) script in green letterpress. Below the denomination text, a smaller redemption notice appears in fine print, with the place name "Kaiserslautern" and date "15. Sept. 1923"; two manuscript signatures appear at the foot of the panel, attributed to the Bürgermeister (Stadtverwaltung) on the left and the Finanzrat (Stadthauptkasse) on the right. The legend "Notgeld der Stadt" arches across a banner at the top, with "Kaiserslautern" in spaced capitals along the lower banner. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in purple on the same pink-tinted paper and shares the identical wavy-line guilloche side borders with numeral "1" counterparts as found on the obverse. The central panel contains a detailed panoramic engraved vignette of the city of Kaiserslautern as seen from an elevated vantage point, with church steeples, rooftops, trees, and surrounding countryside rendered in fine linecut style; a script label "Kaiserslautern" appears within the vignette. The arched top banner repeats "Notgeld der Stadt" and the lower banner again carries "Kaiserslautern" in spaced capitals, with the printer's imprint "Ph. Schneider, Kaiserslautern" at the bottom margin below the frame. |
