| Beschrijving keerzijde | Warm brown letterpress note on a dense hatched guilloche ground enclosed within a double-ruled border. The large denomination '5 000 000 M.' is printed across the top in an open decorative typeface. Two circular medal-style vignettes occupy the centre: the left medallion bears a profile portrait bust of Freiherr vom Stein (1757–1831) with his name and dates inscribed around the circumference in Fraktur; the right medallion displays the rearing Westphalian horse — the provincial heraldic emblem — surrounded by the legend '5 000 000 Mk. Notgeld der Provinz Westfalen 1923'. A two-line Fraktur text runs across the lower portion of the note. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Landesbank der Provinz Westfalen was among the dozens of regional and municipal institutions authorized to issue Notgeld during the hyperinflation of 1923, when the Reichsbank could not print fast enough to meet demand. By the time five-million-mark denominations were necessary, the purchasing power of those notes was already deteriorating within days of issue — in some weeks, within hours.
Printed locally in Münster, this note bypassed the major security printers entirely. The watermarked paper provides the sole mechanical security feature, modest by any standard but typical of the rushed production conditions of that summer.
