|---|---|
| Obverse script | Latin (Fraktur blackletter) |
| Obverse lettering | Notgeld der Staatl. Sächs. Hüttenwerke b. Freiberg Eine Million Mark (Translation: Emergency money of the Staatliche Sächsische Hüttenwerke [Saxon State Smelting Works] near Freiberg one million marks) |
| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a full-length figure of a miner or smelter worker, shown in three-quarter view facing right, striding forward with a long-handled tool — likely a mining staff or pole — grasped in his left hand. In his right hand he holds a flame or torch, symbolising the smelting industry. To the left of the figure stands a large cogwheel bearing a crossed-hammer and pick mining emblem, a traditional symbol of the Saxon mining industry. The date '1923' is inscribed in the right field beside the figure. The overall design, engraved by Friedrich Wilhelm Hörnlein, is rendered in a bold, expressive relief style characteristic of Weimar-era Notgeld coinage. |
