| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed in grey-black on cream paper, the reverse carries a broad guilloche wave underprint across the entire field. The upper portion is dominated by a large cartouche-framed panoramic vignette of the Remscheid townscape, showing church steeples, industrial chimneys, and residential rooftops set against a hillside. At lower left, a circular medallion contains the municipal coat of arms of Remscheid with two supporting figures and an eagle crest; a second plain circular medallion occupies the lower right. Below the central vignette, the issuer legend 'STADT REMSCHEID' and the large denomination '50 MILLIONEN MARK' are set in bold sans-serif letterpress. |

| Opmerkingen |
Remscheid's 50-million Mark note dates from the most acute phase of the Weimar hyperinflation — by late summer 1923, municipal governments across the Rhineland and Westphalia were printing emergency Notgeld simply because the Reichsbank could not supply legal tender fast enough to meet payroll. Cities like Remscheid, a center of tool and cutlery manufacturing, had large industrial workforces requiring cash wages weekly, sometimes daily, as purchasing power collapsed between morning and afternoon.
Oberbürgermeister Trautmann's signature carries genuine administrative weight here — municipal signatories on Notgeld were legally accountable in ways that anonymous bank stamps were not.
