| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in dark blue-black on a pale ground with an intricate microtext underprint filling the entire field with repeating district names. At centre, a large circular vignette is flanked by two putti rendered in a classical engraved manner, each grasping a laurel wreath that frames the bold numeral '100' above the word 'MILLIONEN.' in large letterpress type. A curved arc of text along the upper margin reads 'DÜREN-EUSKIRCHEN-JÜLICH-SCHLEIDEN-STOLBERG-ESCHWEILER', mirrored vertically on the left side. Four decorative rosette corner ornaments complete the design within a multi-rule border. |

This note belongs to the vast apparatus of German municipal emergency money (Notgeld) issued during the hyperinflation of 1923, when the Reichsmark was collapsing so rapidly that local administrations — not banks — had to print their own denominations to keep commercial life functioning. By late 1923, a hundred million marks would barely cover a tram fare. The joint issuance across six administrative districts (Kreise) in the Prussian Rhine Province was a practical response to the sheer scale of demand; no single district office had the capacity to manage it alone.
The DeNG reference places this within the specialized German Notgeld cataloguing system. Stolberg and Eschweiler were both heavily industrial — zinc and copper works — which made local liquidity failures there particularly damaging to regional supply chains.
