| Obverse description | Printed in red and black on cream paper, the obverse centres on a red cartouche bearing the Gothic-script legend "Stadt-Sparkasse Bielefeld" surmounted by a silhouette vignette of a rural farmstead with cattle, deer, and poultry. Large red numeral "10" appears in each corner, with the denomination "Millionen M" in bold black Fraktur script below the cartouche. Two circular medallions with grotesque mask motifs flank the central design, while the borders carry dense vertical text in red referencing contemporary price observations; the date "Bielefeld, den 9.9.23" and the issuing authority "Stadtkämmerei" appear at the foot. |

A silhouette vignette above the cartouche shows rats swarming over a domed structure labelled "Das Ruhrkohlengebiet – Deutschlands Mausefalle," serving as political commentary on the French Ruhr occupation. The outer border is filled with red lace-pattern guilloche panels and marginal text in inverted orientation carrying nationalist quotations, with the printer's imprint "DRUCK: E. GUNDLACH A-G. BIELEFELD" at the foot. |
