| Obverse description | Black letterpress on cream-toned paper with a fine guilloche border framing the entire face. The heading reads "Notgeld für den ostelbischen Braunkohlenbergbau" in Gothic blackletter script, followed by a lengthy redemption text in smaller type naming the issuing syndicate and the conditions of payment. The denomination "Zwei Millionen Mark" is set in large bold Gothic type at centre, with the qualification "(Reichspapiergeld)" beneath it, flanked left and right by crossed mining-hammer-and-pick vignettes symbolising the lignite-mining industry. The issuer's name, "Ostelbisches Braunkohlensyndikat G.m.b.H.", appears in heavy Gothic script below, with a serial number prefix and two manuscript signatures at the foot. |
