| Obverse description | Blue-grey guilloche border frames the note on both the main panel and a detached right coupon. Fraktur blackletter text dominates the centre with the denomination "Fünf Millionen Mark" in large bold type, flanked by the numeral 5,000,000 at upper left and right; a faint lion watermark-style underprint appears at centre. The right coupon carries an ornate cartouche with the numeral and a circular red Oberbürgermeister stamp. |

| Reverse description | Printed in steel-blue on plain paper, the reverse centres on an oval vignette of the Barmen Town Hall (Rathaus), rendered in fine letterpress with a columned neoclassical façade, statuary along the roofline, and figures on the forecourt steps. Flanking the vignette on left and right are matching ornamental cartouches in Fraktur script each bearing "Stadt Barmen 5,000,000 Mark", all within a lace-pattern guilloche border. |
