| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in brown and orange on cream paper, the obverse is divided into two panels. The left panel carries a tall ornamental vignette with stylised floral and foliate scrollwork framing a large central numeral '5' within a guilloche medallion, with the words 'MARK' and 'MILLIONEN' in vertical letterpress. The right panel bears the issuer's title 'Stadt- und Landkreis Aachen' in blackletter script at the top, followed by the series letter, serial number, and the denomination legend 'Fünf Millionen' in bold Gothic type on a dark horizontal band. Below, a three-line redemption clause in Fraktur script is flanked by two circular eagle seals, with the date 'Aachen, den 20. Juli 1923' and two manuscript signatures above the printed titles 'Der Oberbürgermeister' and 'Der Vorsitzende des Kreisausschusses'. |

| Opmerkingen |
Aachen's municipal and district authority — jointly administering Stadt- und Landkreis — issued emergency currency throughout the hyperinflation of 1923 under the same legal framework that permitted hundreds of German local bodies to print notgeld when Reichsbank notes could not keep pace with collapsing purchasing power. By the time five-million-mark denominations were necessary, the figure had become almost meaningless; wages were being calculated and paid daily, sometimes twice daily, to outrun price movements.
Aachen's position on the western frontier added a specific complication: the city sat within the French-Belgian occupied Rhineland, and any locally printed currency circulated under occupation authority scrutiny.
