August 1923, with three facsimile signatures of municipal officials below, and a validity notice at the foot reading "Die Gültigkeit dieses Scheines erlischt spätestens am 31.

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse is printed in red-brown on a dense green guilloche underprint that covers the entire surface, with the denomination numeral "1.000.000" repeated in green at all four corners. A central line-engraved vignette occupies the middle field, showing a perspective view of the Chemnitz Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall) with its prominent clock tower, set within a townscape composition. The overprinted legend "Eine Million Mark" in large green italic letterpress crosses the centre of the vignette. |

| Anmerkungen |
Chemnitz was one of hundreds of German municipalities forced into emergency currency production during the hyperinflation of 1923, when the Reichsmark was collapsing fast enough that million-mark denominations became necessary for daily transactions. The city council — Rat und Stadtverordnete — had legal standing to issue notgeld, and did so prolifically across multiple denominations that summer and autumn.
What distinguishes municipal issues like this one from central bank paper is accountability: the city itself bore redemption liability, which in practice meant very little once the Rentenmark stabilization arrived in November 1923 and most outstanding notgeld was simply written off.
