| Obverse description | Brown-toned Notgeld note with an ornate geometric border of interlocking diamond and cross motifs enclosing the central text field. The denomination 'Fünf Millionen Mark' is rendered in large Gothic (Fraktur) letterpress script, with the numeral '5' and 'Millionen' repeated in the upper corners; below, a redemption clause in smaller roman type is flanked on the left by the circular municipal seal of Wald bearing a castle motif. The issue date 'Wald 5. Aug. 1923' appears at lower left, a manuscript signature above the 'Bürgermeister' title at lower right, and a red serial number with series letter 'D' in diamond cartouches at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a large central vignette in brown intaglio-style print comprising two male figures in working dress — a bare-headed industrial worker to the left and a hatted craftsman to the right — each seated and flanking the Wald municipal coat of arms, which displays an oak-branch device on a shield surmounted by a castellated tower. An industrial townscape forms the background underprint, and a curved ribbon banner below reads 'Stadt Wald' at the extremities with the anti-counterfeiting legend 'Nachahmung Strafbar' on a central scroll. The denomination 'Fünf Millionen Mark' appears in Gothic script within a foliate cartouche at the top centre. |
