| Obverse description | Printed in dark purple-brown on a salmon-orange underprint, the note carries the issuer's name in bold Gothic Fraktur lettering at the top, with the denomination 'Zehn Millionen Mark' set in large display script occupying the central field over a flame-like foliate underprint vignette. Below the denomination, a two-line validity clause is printed in Roman type, followed by the place and date 'Düsseldorf, den 7. Sept. 1923', a serial number, series letter, and two manuscript signatures on behalf of Phoenix; the denomination '10 Millionen Mark' appears in a solid dark panel at the base, with the printer's imprint 'Greven & Bechtold, Köln' below the lower border. The entire design is enclosed within an elaborate geometric and foliate ornamental frame. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in the same dark purple-brown palette on a plain salmon-orange ground, dominated by a large central vignette of a phoenix bird with wings fully spread, rising dramatically from stylised flames rendered in bold linear engraving. The denomination 'Zehn Millionen' is repeated in Fraktur script in the upper left and upper right corners flanking the vignette. Below the flames, the company name 'PHOENIX' is set in monumental sans-serif capitals within a brick-coursed panel, with the full corporate title 'Aktien-Gesellschaft für Bergbau und Hüttenbetrieb.' in Roman type immediately beneath. |
