| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark brown and green on a blue-grey fine guilloche ground, with the large numeral '100,000,000' in bold blackletter type dominating the upper field and the word 'Mark' below it in matching blackletter. A central vignette of a stylised floral or thistle motif in green and cream serves as a decorative underprint element between the numerals. The 'WNB' monogram within a circle appears at lower left, a serial number in red is printed at lower right, and an anti-counterfeiting warning legend in small blackletter runs around all four borders. |

The Württembergische Notenbank was one of four German private note-issuing banks — alongside the Reichsbank, Bayerische Notenbank, and Sächsische Bank — still legally permitted to issue currency during the hyperinflation of 1923. This 100-million-mark denomination belongs to the August–September 1923 window, when German printing presses were racing against a collapse so rapid that notes were sometimes spent within hours of receipt before their value halved again.
Stuttgart-issued notes from this bank tend to survive in higher grades than comparable Reichsbank issues, partly because the regional economy meant smaller print runs and faster obsolescence — fewer notes in circulation meant fewer notes worn out.
