| Obverse description | Brown-toned Notgeld printed on plain paper, with the issuer legend running along both the top and bottom margins. The denomination is rendered in large bold Gothic script reading '10 Milliarden Mk' across the centre, with an oversized numeral '10' anchoring the left side and a second '10' in the lower right corner. Below the denomination, a block of cursive German text states the redemption obligation of the three cities, dated 20.10.23, followed by three signature panels each headed 'Der Oberbürgermeister' with facsimile signatures of the respective municipal authorities. |
