| Obverse description | Printed in dark brown on cream paper within a geometric Art Nouveau border incorporating stylised cross and diamond motifs at the corners and sides, the note centres the denomination "Eine Million Mark" in large blackletter script over a faint vignette underprint. The body text in Kurrent-style script sets out the payment obligation of the Stadtgemeinde Freiburg i. Br., dated 25 August 1923 and countersigned on behalf of the city council by the Oberbürgermeister, with a small circular official dry stamp at lower right. An anti-counterfeiting warning in roman type runs along the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | Printed in dark teal-green on cream paper, the reverse is dominated by a woodcut-style panoramic vignette of Freiburg im Breisgau, with the soaring spire of the Münster cathedral at centre and the Black Forest ridge behind, sun rays radiating from the mountain peak. The vignette sits within a double-ruled frame flanked by geometric decorative borders, with "Eine Million Mark" in blackletter script along the left vertical margin and the numeral "1000000" in small text above and below the central image. The designer's credit "P.H. HÜBNER" appears at the lower right of the vignette. |
