| Reverse description | The reverse shares the same dark brown and red colour scheme, with an ornamental guilloche border repeating the denominations '10 000 M' and 'ZEHNTAUSEND M' along all margins. A central rectangular letterpress vignette presents the Rheinhafen (Rhine harbour) of Karlsruhe, with cranes, moored barges, and warehouse buildings reflected in the water, identified by a red panel captioned 'RHEINHAFEN' beneath. Two flanking oval text cartouches carry the redemption clause dated 'Karlsruhe, Februar 1923' and a poetic inscription respectively, while the lower centre bears a serial number, the validity clause 'NUR MIT TROCKENSTEMPEL GÜLTIG!', a dry-embossed city arms seal at lower right, and a manuscript signature above the legend 'DER STADTRAT:'. |
