| Obverse description | Green-toned Notgeld note with an all-over underprint of repeated denomination text forming a guilloche-style border across the entire field. The large stylised numeral '20' occupies the upper central area, with series designation 'Reihe B' at upper left and a serial number at upper right; a background civic vignette alludes to the industrial character of the Ruhr region. Two circular official seals appear at lower left and lower right, with the issuing authority inscription, the date 'Gelsenkirchen, den 21. Juli 1923', and two manuscript signatures above the printed designations 'Der Oberbürgermeister' and 'Der Kreisausschuß / Kreisdeputierter'. |

| Reverse description | The reverse repeats the green tone and dense underprint of '20 MILLIONEN MARK' text forming a guilloche border around the entire field. At left, a tall diamond-shaped ornamental vignette encloses the numeral '20' within a radiating star motif. The central panel carries a lightly printed civic vignette in the background, over which the issuer name and a redemption clause are set in bold letterpress. |
