| Obverse description | The note is printed entirely in blue on pale paper and is divided into two vertical panels. The larger left panel bears a rectangular letterpress text field enclosed by a decorative border with floral corner ornaments, carrying the issuing authority's name at the top, the denomination "FÜNF MILLIONEN" in large bold Gothic type at centre, and a redemption clause dated Pirna, 1. September 1923, followed by two facsimile signatures with their titles below. The narrower right panel functions as a coupon stub and carries a circular official seal of the Bezirksverband der Amtshauptmannschaft Pirna bearing the Saxon arms, the series designation "REIHE A", and the serial number printed in red. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in blue and centres on a large circular vignette enclosed by a wreath of laurel, presenting a panoramic landscape view of the Saxon Switzerland region with the Elbe river winding through sandstone rock formations, small sailing vessels on the water, and a clouded sky above. Undulating guilloche borders run along the left and right margins, while the numeral "5" with "Millionen" appears in the upper corners on either side of the central vignette. An anti-counterfeiting legal warning in Gothic script is set in a single text block along the lower margin. |
