| 表面の説明 | 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. |

| 裏面の説明 | 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. |

Barmen was an industrial city in the Wupper Valley — today absorbed into Wuppertal — and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1923, it was forced to issue its own emergency currency as the Reichsbank's printing capacity buckled under hyperinflation. The Stadt Barmen notgeld series reached denominations that would have been unimaginable eighteen months earlier. Five million marks, once a sum of extraordinary magnitude, was by mid-1923 barely sufficient for basic daily transactions.
August Schmidtmann was a local Barmen printer, not a specialist banknote house. That matters: the production quality of municipal issues from such printers varies considerably within the same series, with uneven ink distribution and inconsistent sheet registration appearing frequently.
