| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into two panels: a narrow left stub bearing the serial number printed vertically and a circular green official seal of the Landratsamt Ahrweiler, and a main field enclosed within an ornate dark violet guilloche border with floral corner motifs. The central denomination vignette reads 'Eine Million' in large Gothic blackletter script over '1 000 000 Mark' in olive-green numerals, all set against a fine orange underprint of interlaced foliate patterns. Below, a block of Gothic text records the issuing conditions and bears the date 'Ahrweiler, den 5. Juli 1923,' followed by multiple manuscript signatures of the Kreisausschuss members. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in olive-green and orange-red on a cream paper ground, with a continuous fine-line foliate underprint across the entire field. A large central geometric vignette of interlocking ornamental panels and scrollwork frames the numeral '1000000' in bold olive-green figures. The text 'Kreis Ahrweiler' is printed vertically in large Gothic letters along the left margin, with additional vertical text to the right, and a separate right-hand stub panel repeats 'Kreis Ahrweiler' vertically within a dot-rule border. |
