| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in dark blue ink on a rose-tinted guilloche underprint, the note carries the large numeral denomination '2.000.000' at the top centre flanked on each side by oval vignettes set within the vertical legend 'NOTGELD DER STADT FÜRTH': the left vignette shows a figurative scene of harvest or agricultural labour, while the right vignette presents a civic monument or fountain with architectural elements. The central text panel, framed by a scalloped border, bears the payment obligation text, date of 29 August 1923, and three facsimile manuscript signatures below the heading 'Stadtrat:', with the denomination in words 'Zwei Millionen' rendered in bold Gothic script along the lower margin. |

Fürth's municipal treasury issued this 2,000,000 Mark note during the hyperinflation peak of summer 1923, when German cities were legally empowered — and practically forced — to print their own emergency currency (Notgeld) simply to meet weekly payroll. The Stadtkasse Fürth was not a bank; it was the city's cashier's office, and notes like this were stopgaps printed locally while the Reichsbank struggled to keep denominations meaningful against a mark losing value by the hour.
Three municipal signatures — Oberbürgermeister Arnold flanked by the second and third Bürgermeisters — reflect the administrative formality Bavarian municipalities maintained even as the currency collapsed around them.
