| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in black and ochre on cream paper, the obverse carries at left a fine line-engraved vignette of a seated male worker figure beside an industrial wheel. The central letterpress text field gives the denomination '2 MILLIARDEN MARK' beneath the heading 'DIESER GUTSCHEIN REIHE A', with a block of Gothic-script text naming the six issuing Kreise, the date '30. September 1923', and manuscript signatures of the Landräte and Kreisausschuss members; a bold diagonal red overstamp '50 Milliarden' revalues the note. A vertical side tab, printed sideways, reads 'Umlaufähig in den Regierungsbezirken AACHEN und KÖLN / Gültig bis zum 1. April 1924'. |

A bold diagonal red overstamp '50 Milliarden Mark' crosses the centre, with a further vertical red overprint on the right tab. |

By autumn 1923, Germany's hyperinflation was accelerating faster than printers could produce new notes. The solution adopted by many local authorities — Kreise and municipalities across the Rhineland included — was to take existing high-denomination Notgeld stock and apply an overstamp multiplying the face value, sometimes by factors of ten or twenty-five. This note represents exactly that stopgap: a 2 Milliarden Mark note rendered temporarily viable by stamping a 50 Milliarden figure over it before the Rentenmark stabilization in November 1923 ended the entire charade.
The six issuing districts — Düren, Euskirchen, Jülich, Schleiden, Stolberg, and Eschweiler — pooled their emergency currency authority, which was common practice in the Prussian Rhine Province that year.
