| Obverse lettering | Die Stadtgemeinde Friedrichshafen zahlt für diese Note 100 000 000 000 Mark Einhundert Milliarden Mark Friedrichshafen a. B., 10 Okt. 1923 |
| Reverse description | The same pink and blue wave-pattern underprint fills the field, enclosed by a toothed blue frame. At left, a large seated hare — the "Seehas", the folkloric symbol of the Lake Constance region — is rendered in detailed cross-hatched line work amid stylised foliage. To the right, a lakeside scene opens toward a radiant sun on the horizon, with two sailing vessels on the water and meadow flowers in the foreground. A four-line humorous verse in cursive Kurrent script arcs across the upper right, addressing the Seehas directly. The artist's signature "Haig." appears at lower left. |
| Reverse lettering | O lieber Seehas, spring wie einst. Laß ab von Streit und Putschen Und laß den Weltschen, wenn er schreit den Buckel runter Rutschen. |
