| Obverse description | Blue-grey Notgeld note with an all-over geometric guilloche underprint forming a fine lattice of diamond and floral rosette patterns across the entire field. Four large circular guilloche rosettes occupy the four corners, each containing the numeral '50' in bold black Gothic typeface. The denomination 'Fünfzig Milliarden Mark' is printed in large black Fraktur script across the centre, above a block of text naming the issuing authority and payment conditions, dated Apolda, den 25. Oktober 1923, with two facsimile signature lines for 'Der Stadtdirektor' (Oberbürgermeister) and 'Der Stadtrat' (Vorsitzender). The series letter 'Serie L' appears at lower left and the serial number at lower right, with the printer's imprint 'ADOLF FORKER LEIPZIG' at the extreme lower right margin. The note bears two circular cancellation punch-holes through the centre. |
