| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cream-toned note with a geometric guilloche underprint in gold-ochre. A letterpress vignette at lower left renders a view of Lichtenstein Castle perched on a rocky outcrop. The denomination '2.000.000' is set in large bold type across the upper centre, below the issuer title in Gothic script, with the value in words 'Zwei Millionen Mark' rendered in ornate Fraktur lettering at centre. A circular red official stamp of the Stadt Pfullingen appears at lower centre flanked by two manuscript signatures, with the serial number and series letter 'Reihe D' printed in red at lower left. A Sophocles quotation in small type occupies the upper-left panel. |

Pfullingen is a small industrial town in the Swabian Alb, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1923, it was forced to print its own emergency currency when Reichsbank notes became worthless faster than they could be shipped. This is Notgeld in its inflationary phase — not the decorative collector pieces of 1921, but functional scrip produced in genuine desperation. The two-million-mark denomination places this squarely in the summer-to-autumn 1923 window, when municipal presses struggled to keep pace with a currency losing value by the hour.
The official stamp substitutes for conventional security printing — cheap, fast, and just sufficient to deter casual forgery in a town where everyone knew everyone.
