| Obverse description | The face is set on a pink and dark blue guilloche underprint with an ornate floral and geometric border repeated on all four sides. The denomination 'Hunderttausend Mark' is printed in large bold letterpress type across the centre, with a lighter watermark-style numeral '100000' visible beneath. Surrounding text specifies validity within the district of the Stadt und Amtshauptmannschaft Zwickau until 15 August 1923, redeemable through the Zwickauer Stadtbank Aktiengesellschaft, dated 25 July 1923, and authorised by 'DER RAT DER STADT ZWICKAU', with two manuscript signatures below the titles 'Oberbürgermeister' and 'Stadtkassendirektor'. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark olive-green on a pale underprint of geometric and floral guilloche motifs, with the denomination repeated in a continuous horizontal band reading '100000 Mark' across both the top and bottom margins. At centre, the heraldic arms of Zwickau — a crowned lion supporting a shield with civic insignia and flanking decorative scrollwork — form the principal vignette. To the left and right of the arms, a split anti-counterfeiting warning in Gothic script threatens imprisonment of no less than two years for forgery or circulation of falsified notes. A red serial number appears in the lower-left field. |
