| Obverse description | The obverse is set against a pink and green guilloche underprint with a dense wave pattern border. The denomination "Fünf Millionen Mark" is rendered in large calligraphic script at centre, flanked by numeral "5" in each corner, above the issuing text "Der Bezirk Dürkheim zahlt" and the redemption clause "gegen Vorlage dieses Gutscheines". Below, the date "Bad Dürkheim, den 8. Sept. 1923" is printed between the titles "Bezirkstag" and "Bezirkskasse", with two manuscript signatures and a guarantee text in letterpress; the printer's imprint "J. Rheinberger, Bad-Dürkheim" appears at the lower right margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black on a pale green wave-pattern guilloche ground within a double-rule border with a dotted inner frame. At upper left, a large numeral "5" anchors the design, while the central vignette presents a detailed line-engraved view of a ruined medieval castle — identifiable as the Limburg Abbey ruins near Bad Dürkheim — with a tall broken tower and crumbling walls set against sparse vegetation. The denomination legend "Fünf Millionen Mark Bezirk Dürkheim" is inscribed in calligraphic script along the lower margin. |
