| Obverse description | Plain white note divided vertically by a wavy ornamental rule with triangular printer's marks at top and bottom. The left panel carries the denomination in large Gothic blackletter type — '20 Milliarden Mark' — above a anti-counterfeiting warning and a validity statement reading 'Gültig als Zahlungsmittel bis 1. Dezember 1923'; a serial number field 'Nr.' appears at upper left. The right panel bears the heading 'Notgeld der Stadt Donaueschingen' in Gothic script, the denomination repeated in full as 'Zwanzig Milliarden Mark', the date 'Donaueschingen, 26. Oktober 1923', the issuing authority 'Der Gemeinderat', and two manuscript signatures below, all within a double-rule rectangular border. |

The obverse text shows through the thin paper as a strong typographic underprint across the entire field. The printer's imprint 'Druck- und Verlagsgesellschaft m. b. H. · Donaueschingen.' appears in small roman type at the lower right within the outer border. |
