| Obverse description | Printed in dark brown and red-brown on cream paper, the obverse is laid out in two sections divided by a guilloche-patterned right panel. The central left field carries the denomination in large Gothic blackletter script reading 'Hundert Millionen Mark', set over a lozenge-shaped underprint, with the issuing authority 'Notgeld der Stadt Kaiserslautern' in letterpress across the top. Below the denomination, the place and date of issue 'Kaiserslautern den 20. September 1923' appear in italic script, flanked by two manuscript facsimile signatures above the printed titles 'Bürgermeister' (Stadtverwaltung) and 'Finanzrat' (Stadthauptkasse), with a central clause stating the redemption date would be announced in the daily press; the lower margin bears the validity notice 'Umlauffähig im ganzen Regierungsbezirk Pfalz. Gültig bis 1. April 1924.' |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark brown and red-brown on cream paper, divided into two zones by the design layout. The left panel carries a diamond-pattern guilloche underprint bearing the denomination '100 Millionen Mark' in bold Gothic blackletter script. The right two-thirds of the note are occupied by a woodcut-style vignette of six female figures in traditional Palatinate folk costume, rendered in a naive medieval-revival illustrative manner, with the legend 'Notgeld der Stadt Kaiserslautern' in script above the scene; a vertical text column runs along the right margin. |
