Obverse description "The uniformly designed front features a standing woman, Marianne, the national figure of the French Republic, in the left third of the notes. In her right hand she holds a whip and in her left a number of banknotes.

She placed her right foot on the neck of a man lying on the ground.

This representation can first of all be interpreted as the defenselessness of the German Empire against the arbitrary power of the Franco-Belgian armed forces."

Text from www.geldscheine-online.com
Obverse lettering "100 000 000 Ruhrtaler zahlen die Franzosen u. Belgier gern jedem Deutschen, der ihnen Kohlen brächte, damit sie sich nicht mit ihrem gemeinen Einbruch in das Ruhrgebiet vor aller Welt blamieren."
(Translation: “The French and Belgians are happy to pay to any German who would bring them coal so that they do not embarrass themselves in front of the whole world with their mean invasion into the Ruhr area.”)
