| Obverse description | Notgeld issued for the Stadt- und Landkreis Gelsenkirchen, dated 9. August 1923, printed in black Fraktur script on a pale ground with a green geometric square underprint and an ornate red scrollwork border frame. The large denomination 'Eine Million Mark' is set in bold Gothic lettering at centre, with a red vignette of the municipal coat of arms as underprint behind it; the series letter 'Reihe A' and serial number appear in the upper register. Two official circular ink stamps — one for the Stadt Gelsenkirchen and one for the Kreisausschuss des Landkreises Gelsenkirchen — are applied at lower centre, flanked by manuscript signatures of authorised officials. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a typographically plain layout in black Fraktur on the same pale ground with green square underprint and red scrollwork border, dominated by the large red numeral '1 000 000' printed twice — at top and bottom — with vertical repetitions of the figure along both side margins. The issuer's name 'Stadt- und Landkreis Gelsenkirchen' is set in bold Gothic type at centre, accompanied by a small coat-of-arms vignette; four corner shield vignettes reinforce the issuer's identity. Two text blocks provide an anti-counterfeiting watermark notice and redemption conditions. |
