| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in the same tan and dark brown colour scheme, framed by an ornamental border of scrollwork and floral corner pieces. A wide panoramic vignette in pale ochre underprint occupies the centre, showing a townscape of Heiligenstadt with its characteristic church spires set against a hilly landscape. Below the vignette, a two-line redemption clause is set in Gothic script, and the printer's imprint appears in small capitals at the foot of the note. |

| Opmerkingen |
Heiligenstadt — a small town in Eichsfeld, Thuringia — was among hundreds of German municipal authorities forced to print their own emergency currency during the hyperinflation of 1923, when the Reichsbank simply could not keep pace with denomination demands. By October of that year, ten billion marks bought little more than a loaf of bread, which makes the face value here less absurd than it sounds.
The Brunn'sche Buchdruckerei was a local commercial printer, not a specialist banknote house. Notes from this series often show uneven ink distribution and minor registration shifts — predictable consequences of equipment designed for trade printing pressed into monetary service under extreme pressure.
