| Obverse description | At left, a woodcut-style vignette of a tall church tower set within foliage is rendered in fine black letterpress. The denomination 'Fünf Millionen Mark' occupies the central and right portion in bold Gothic blackletter type over a decorative guilloche underprint, with a red serial number in the upper right corner. The lower section carries the issuing authority text, the date 'Altona, 15. September 1923', and three manuscript signatures flanked by two circular city seals. |
