| Obverse description | Printed in black on pale paper with a geometric guilloche underprint in grey-green, the obverse is dominated by the large bold denomination '25 Milliarden Mark' at centre. At upper centre, the issuer title 'Landesbank der Rheinprovinz' flanks a circular seal bearing the Prussian eagle, with a six-digit serial number to its right. Below the denomination, a four-line letterpress text states the payment obligation, place, and date of issue (Düsseldorf, 8 Oktober 1923), followed by the issuing authority 'Landesbank der Rheinprovinz / General-Direktion' with a manuscript signature. A vertical side panel at left carries an overprinted validity inscription reading 'Umlauffähig im ganzen besetzten Gebiet der Rheinprovinz. Gültig bis 1. April 1924'. |
