| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed in green and black, the reverse is designed in an inverted orientation relative to the obverse, giving a note that reads correctly when turned upside down. A central green hexagonal panel carries the issuer name 'Stadt Sparkasse Bielefeld' in Gothic script, flanked on left and right by the denomination 'Zehn Billionen Mark' in large decorative lettering. Dramatic silhouette vignettes fill the upper and lower registers with fantastical scenes of winged creatures, mythological figures and caricatures of nations including Deutschland and Frankreich, all executed in a bold Expressionist paper-cut style consistent with Bielefeld's celebrated Notgeld artistic tradition. The four borders are densely printed with satirical text listing consumer prices and political commentary referencing the Treaty of Versailles and the Rhineland occupation. |

Bielefeld occupies a peculiar footnote in Weimar hyperinflation history as the city that issued Notgeld on linen, leather, silk, and pressed coal — novelty materials that attracted foreign collectors paying in hard currency, which was precisely the point. This note, however, is paper: the utilitarian end of Bielefeld's emergency currency program, denominated at ten trillion Mark and printed locally by E. Gundlach during the absolute peak of the inflation crisis in late 1923, when the Reichsbank's own presses could not keep pace with demand.
At that denomination, the note would have bought little more than a loaf of bread — possibly less, depending on the day.
