| Obverse description | Green and blue Notgeld Gutschein printed on plain paper, with a decorative guilloche border enclosing the central text panel; a large numeral '5' set within a rope-style vignette occupies the left panel, flanked by the word 'MILLIONEN' in arched banners above and below. The main field carries the denomination in Gothic blackletter script reading 'Fünf Millionen Mark', surmounted by the issuing authority legend in a curved arc, with a small oval architectural vignette visible in the background underprint. A red serial number and a small star separator appear at lower left, with the manuscript signature of the Stadtrat at lower right. |

Kusche, centred on a finely rendered panoramic vignette of the Karlsruhe Eisenbahnhof as it appeared in 1853, with horse-drawn carriages and period figures in the foreground set against a clouded sky.
