| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in dark red-brown on a pale buff ground, the note carries large Fraktur script reading 'Fünfzig Millionen Mark' across the upper central field, with a faint steam locomotive vignette serving as underprint. The issuer's title 'DEUTSCHE REICHSBAHN' appears in solid panels at the top and bottom borders, flanked by two circular Reichsverkehrsminister eagle seals at either side of the central text block. Below the denomination, the place and date 'Berlin, den 18. September 1923' and the printed designation 'Der Reichsverkehrsminister' accompany a facsimile signature, with the alphanumeric series prefix and serial number at lower left. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse repeats the 'DEUTSCHE REICHSBAHN' title panel at top and bottom borders within the same interlaced geometric guilloche border strips as the obverse, with the two Reichsverkehrsminister eagle medallions faintly rendered at centre-left and centre-right. The Fraktur denomination lettering is discernible across the central field, printed in a markedly paler tone than the obverse. The overall impression is of a simplified, washed-out repetition of the obverse layout, consistent with the single-colour letterpress production typical of German inflation-era emergency currency. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Deutsche Reichsbahn issued its own emergency currency during the hyperinflation of 1923 because the Reichsbank simply could not print fast enough to meet payroll. Railway workers numbered in the hundreds of thousands, and the Reichsbahn — as a state-owned enterprise with its own financial administration — was authorized to issue notgeld to cover wages before the notes lost meaningful value in transit. This was not a fringe phenomenon: several major public utilities and industrial concerns did the same thing that year.
By the time this 50,000,000 Mark denomination was necessary, the figure itself was already becoming obsolete within weeks of printing.
