| Reverse description | The reverse is a mirror-image letterpress print-through of the obverse text, visible in pale blue as a result of the ink bleeding through the thin paper stock, with no independently printed design elements. The text GUTSCHEIN DER STADT BUER I.W., FÜNF BILLIONEN, and the numeral 5000 MILLIARDEN MARK are all legible in reverse orientation, confirming single-sided printing. The overall appearance is unadorned, consistent with the emergency Notgeld production methods of the hyperinflation period. |
