| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green on pale paper and divided into two vertical panels. The main left panel is enclosed within a decorative floral border and carries the denomination "EINE MILLION" in large blackletter script at centre, above a four-line redemption text in italic type and the issue date "Pirna, den 1. September 1923". At upper centre, the heading "Gutschein des Bezirksverbandes der Amtshauptmannschaft Pirna" is set in roman type, and two manuscript signatures appear below the issuer name with the printed titles "Regierungsrat" and "Kasseninspektor". The narrower right panel bears a guilloche wave underprint, the numeral "1" and "Million Mark" at top, a circular seal of the Bezirksverband der Amtshauptmannschaft Pirna with the Saxon arms at centre, the series designation "REIHE A" in bold, and a red serial number below; the note is authorised by the legend "Zugelassen vom Reichsfinanzministerium" at upper right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in green and structured around a large central vignette enclosed within a wreath-bordered circular frame, itself set against an elaborate guilloche lace underprint that extends across the full surface. The vignette renders a finely engraved panoramic landscape of the Elbe valley in Saxon Switzerland, with the distinctive flat-topped Lilienstein rock formation at centre-left, receding sandstone mesas in the distance, and two sailing vessels on the river in the foreground. Denomination numerals "1" with the legend "MILLION" appear in the upper left and upper right corners above the guilloche side panels, and an anti-counterfeiting warning in Gothic script is set in two lines along the lower margin. |
