| Obverse description | Printed on a pinkish-beige paper with a stylised leafy branch underprint in rose-red tones, the obverse carries the denomination in large Fraktur blackletter script reading 'Drei Millionen Mark' across the upper half, with the numeral '3.000.000' repeated at upper right and lower right corners. The city arms of Chemnitz — a crowned double-headed eagle vignette — appear at the right centre, below the red serial number, while the issuing authority legend and date 'Chemnitz, den 10. August 1923' are set in Gothic script at centre, above three manuscript facsimile signatures and the series designation 'Reihe A 5'. A validity notice in small Gothic type runs along the lower margin. |
