| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black on the same buff-toned paper and shares the identical lateral border of stylized zigzag and diamond ornaments. A central vignette occupies most of the inner field, rendered in fine line engraving and presenting a three-quarter view of Schloss Benrath, the Baroque palace set amid trees and gardens, labelled 'BENRATH SCHLOSS' within the scene. The issuer's name is displayed in bold Gothic-style lettering above and below the vignette: 'LANDKREIS' at the top and 'DÜSSELDORF' at the bottom. |

| Comments |
German county-level authorities gained emergency note-issuing rights during the hyperinflation of 1923 as the Reichsbank lost all practical ability to keep denominations current with the collapsing mark. The Kreisausschuss des Landkreises Düsseldorf — the administrative committee of Düsseldorf rural district, distinct from the city itself — was one of hundreds of such bodies printing Notgeld at the million-mark level by mid-1923, when that figure barely covered a tram fare.
Local printing in Düsseldorf kept turnaround fast. By October 1923 this denomination was already obsolete, superseded by billion-mark issues within weeks.
