| Obverse description | Green and dark blue notgeld note with a heavily serrated guilloche border running along all four edges. The denomination 'Fünf Millionen Mark' is rendered in large Gothic blackletter script across the centre, with the numeral underprint '5000000' visible in pale tint behind the text. The issuing authority 'Kreishauptstadt Speyer a.Rh.' appears at the top in Roman type, followed by the word 'Notgeld' in bold; a stamped serial number is positioned to the upper right, and the date 'Speyer, den 27. Juli 1923' together with the legend 'zahlt die Stadtkasse Speyer dem Einlieferer dieses Scheines' and the rubric 'Das Bürgermeisteramt:' appear in the lower half above three manuscript signatures. |

| Reverse description | Unbordered vignette executed in a loose, expressive line-drawing style in dark brown ink on plain paper, occupying the full face of the note. The scene portrays several labourers panning and sifting for gold along the banks of the Rhine near Speyer, their figures rendered in vigorous gestural strokes; tall poplar trees rise on the left, and the silhouette of Speyer Cathedral is discernible on the right horizon across the river. A caption in Roman type runs along the lower edge identifying the subject. |
