| Obverse description | Green and yellow letterpress-printed Notgeld note on the original 1000 Mark base note of the Stadt Nürnberg, with a bold banner inscription reading 'EINTAUSEND MARK' across the centre against a guilloche-patterned green underprint. A red numeral '1000' appears in an oval cartouche at top centre, a small city arms vignette is positioned at lower centre, and the issuing authority and payment obligation are set in flanking ribbon banners. Two bold diagonal red overprint lines in Gothic script read 'Zehn Millionen Mark', revaluing the note to 10,000,000 Mark for use during the hyperinflationary period of August 1923. |
