| Obverse description | Printed in blue and green on white paper, the obverse carries a large numeral '20' underprint in blue at centre, overlaid by a green gothic-script banner reading 'Millionen Mk.' The denomination '20·000·000' is set in bold blue numerals below, with a multi-line text block in Kurrent script stating the obligation to pay at the Städtische Sparkasse and Stadthauptkasse in Duisburg. The circular 'Stadt Duisburg – Notgeld' seal with civic arms is struck at centre-lower, flanked by the place and date 'DUISBURG, DEN 15. SEPT. 1923' to the left and the manuscript signature of the Oberbürgermeister to the right. A fine guilloche border frames the entire design, with the legend '20 MILLIONEN MARK' repeated in the top and bottom margins and 'DUISBURG AM RHEIN' running vertically along both side margins; a decorative ornamental vignette with crossed tools and anchor motif occupies the right-hand panel. |
