| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is occupied entirely by a woodcut-style vignette reproduced from the Codex Manesse, the famous illuminated manuscript held at the Heidelberg University Library, showing a seated medieval court scene with crowned and robed figures engaged in discourse beneath a canopied pavilion. The illustration is rendered in black line art with subtle colour wash on a plain ground, enclosed within a zigzag-bordered frame. Below the vignette, the name of the medieval poet Gottfried von Straßburg is inscribed in Gothic script, with a source attribution in smaller letterpress beneath. |

| Opmerkingen |
Heidelberg's municipal administration, like hundreds of German cities and towns, was authorized to issue its own emergency currency — Notgeld — as the Reichsbank's hyperinflationary spiral made official denominations obsolete almost weekly. By August 1923, when 10-million-mark notes were being printed, the purchasing power of any given denomination was typically exhausted within days of issue.
Oberbürgermeister Walz signed off on the series during one of the most compressed monetary collapses in recorded history. The dry seal, applied by the Stadtgemeinde's own offices, was the primary authentication mechanism — a reminder that these were obligations of the municipality, not the central bank.
