| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is dominated by a large central vignette rendered in fine engraved black line work, illustrating a historical scene of a medieval military encampment at the foot of Weinsberg Castle — a hilltop fortress visible in the background — alluding to the legend of the "Weibertreu" (faithful wives of Weinsberg, 1140). Soldiers, tents, campfires, and figures with a spinning wheel populate the foreground in a detailed narrative composition. The denomination "1,000,000" is printed vertically in large numerals along the right margin, and a decorative scrollwork border in carmine frames the note, with redemption and legal text running vertically along the left margin and the local verse inscribed horizontally along the lower panel. |
| Opschrift keerzijde | Durch treue Weiber, Wein und Sang - - Hat Weinsberg seinen guten Klang. Die Scheine werden von der Stadtpflege zum Nennwert in Zahlung genommen und spätestens am 15. Januar 1924 eingelöst. (Translation: Through loyal women, wine and singing - - Weinsberg has its good sound. The notes are accepted by the city administration at face value and redeemed by January 15, 1924 at the latest.) |

Weinsberg is a small town in Württemberg best remembered for the 1140 siege in which Countess Mechthild allegedly carried her husband on her back to satisfy a safe-conduct clause — a story the town has traded on for centuries. By August 1923, the municipal administration was issuing million-mark notes not as a curiosity but out of necessity, as Reichsbank notes became functionally useless faster than they could be distributed.
Local Notgeld at this denomination was printed on whatever press the municipality had access to, and Weinsberg's examples were produced in-house. Quality varies accordingly.
