| Obverse description | Typographically spare obverse printed on cream paper with a pale green guilloche underprint panel at left, where the red serial number is overprinted vertically. The denomination "Fünf Millionen Mark" is set in a bold black Gothic (Fraktur) typeface below the heading "Reichsbanknote", followed by the body text of the promise-to-pay clause and the issue date "Berlin, den 25. Juli 1923". Two circular Reichsbank Direktorium seals bearing the Imperial eagle flank a block of facsimile committee signatures at the foot, while the anti-counterfeiting warning runs in vertical text along the right margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a repetitive typographic pattern of the numeral denomination printed in interlocking chain-link units that form a continuous guilloche-style lattice across the entire surface, serving simultaneously as a decorative underprint and an anti-counterfeiting device. The design is intentionally an inversion of the obverse layout, with the numeral motifs visible in mirror orientation when the note is held to the light. |
