| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in pale ochre and features four landscape vignettes arranged in a two-by-two grid, each captioned in small letterpress text: 'Schloss Augustusburg' (upper left), 'Schloss Wittgendorf' (upper right), 'Schloss Lichtenwalde' (lower left), and 'Schloss Scharfenberg' (lower right), all depicting Saxon castles set in wooded hillside scenery. A radiating circular guilloche rosette is centred on the note at the intersection of the four panels. The overall design is lightly printed, giving the reverse a delicate, almost watermark-like appearance against the cream paper. |

| Comments |
Flöha district emergency money from the hyperinflation peak of late 1923, when two hundred billion marks was a denomination with genuine purchasing utility — briefly. The Amtshauptmannschaft was a Saxon administrative district, and like hundreds of similar local authorities across Germany that autumn, it issued its own Notgeld simply because the Reichsbank could not print and distribute currency fast enough to keep pace with collapse. C. G. Rossberg in nearby Frankenberg was a local commercial printer pressed into monetary service, not a specialist banknote house.
The stabilization of November 1923 rendered the entire emission worthless within weeks of issue.
