| Obverse description | Pink-toned emergency note (Notgeld) printed in dark violet ink on a fine guilloche underprint ground, with a repeating floral rosette pattern filling the entire field. The upper portion carries the denomination legend in large Gothic blackletter type, below which the authorising text instructs the Girozentrale für Ost- und Westpreußen in Danzig to pay against this cheque to the Stadtsparkasse Zoppot or bearer. At left, the arms of Zoppot — a castle above a white seagull on a shield — appear as a typographic vignette, while at right a decorative cartouche encloses the numeral denomination '100 Millionen Mark'; two manuscript signatures appear in the centre field above the issuing authority line 'Der Magistrat', with a red circular official seal affixed at lower right. |

| Reverse description | Grey-green note printed in dark ink, divided into three vertical panels. The left panel carries a bold heraldic vignette of a winged dragon coiled around the numeral denomination '100 Millionen Mark' above the legend 'deutsche Reichswährung'. The wide central panel is occupied by a halftone photographic reproduction of a stage scene from the 1922 Zoppot Forest Opera production of Wagner's Siegfried, with the caption '••• ZOPPOTER WALDOPER - 1922 - SIEGFRIED •••' below. The right panel contains an oval cartouche with a forgery-warning text in Gothic script, set within a decorative guilloche border that frames the entire reverse. |
