| Obverse description | Printed entirely in deep red on cream paper, the obverse is divided into a main panel and a right-side stub separated by a decorative border. The main panel carries the denomination in large Gothic script ('Hundert Millionen Mark') at centre, flanked above by the issuer name 'Stadt Elberfeld' and the numeral denomination '100 Millionen Mark', with the promise-to-pay text in Gothic lettering below the heading 'Notgeld'. The right stub bears the city coat of arms with a rampant lion holding an anchor set within a shield-shaped cartouche, surmounted by 'STADT ELBERFELD' and the numeral '100.000.000' at foot; the date 'den 15. September 1923', a serial number prefix and suffix, and the facsimile signature of the Oberbürgermeister appear in the lower portion of the main panel, with the printer's imprint 'Sam. Lucas Elberfeld' along the bottom margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in the same deep red on cream paper and is entirely typographic and ornamental in character. A large central guilloche cartouche of elaborate lathe-work ovals and interlocking scrollwork frames the inscription 'HUNDERT MILLIONEN' in bold Roman capitals within a horizontal band. Small vignettes of the Elberfeld heraldic lion with anchor appear in the upper-left and lower-right corners, while the denomination '100 Millionen Mark' and issuer name 'Stadt Elberfeld' are repeated in each of the four corner areas. The whole composition is enclosed within a repeating floral-motif border identical to that of the obverse. |
