| Reverse description | The reverse carries a central octagonal vignette of Kloster Camp (Kamp Monastery), rendered in fine letterpress with twin Baroque towers and ancillary monastic buildings set against a radiating line underprint. Denomination numerals "20" appear in ornate circular cartouches at left and right, framed by stylised floral corner ornaments. The commemorative dates "1123 – 1923" are inscribed below the vignette, referencing the monastery's 800th anniversary, with the printer's imprint "SCHOTT A.G. RHEYDT." at lower right. |

| Comments |
Emergency notgeld issued by a coal mining cooperative on the left bank of the Lower Rhine, this 20-million-mark piece belongs to the extreme inflationary peak of late 1923, when denominations were climbing so fast that industrial employers often issued their own scrip simply to meet weekly payroll before the Reichsbank could supply adequate currency. The Verein der Bergwerke am linken Niederrhein was not a bank — it was a colliery association, printing money as a matter of operational necessity.
Schott A.G. in Rheydt handled the printing, a regional commercial printer pressed into service like dozens of others across the Ruhr and Rhine districts that year.
