Sept. 1923' and the facsimile signature of the Oberbürgermeister at lower right. |

| Reverse description | Grey-printed reverse with a wavy-line guilloche underprint filling the left panel, inscribed with repeated 'NOTGELD DER STADT ESSEN' and '100 MILLIONEN 100' legends in spaced letterpress. To the right, a circular vignette contains a bust portrait of a male figure rendered in a graphic, expressionist style. The upper and lower borders repeat the oval denomination motifs consistent with the obverse layout. |
