| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in reddish-brown and features a central diamond-shaped vignette set against a guilloche scroll underprint, enclosing a full-length figure of a miner in traditional Steiger uniform carrying a pickaxe over his shoulder, with the mine colliery rendered below his feet. Flanking the central vignette are two ornate oval cartouches: the left bearing the interlaced "SJ" monogram of the issuer, the right displaying a crossed hammer and pick emblem. The issuer's name "Gewerkschaft Sophia-Jacoba, Hückelhoven" is inscribed in capital letters along both the top and bottom margins, with the printer's imprint "Schött A.G. Rheydt" at the foot. |

Gewerkschaft Sophia-Jacoba was a coal mining cooperative operating the Sophia-Jacoba colliery in the lower Rhine coalfield. Like hundreds of German industrial firms in the autumn of 1923, it issued its own emergency currency — Notgeld — to pay workers when the Reichsbank could no longer supply denominations fast enough to keep pace with hyperinflation. By the time fifty-million-mark notes were necessary for routine wage packets, the currency was collapsing by the hour.
Hermann Schött A.G. in Rheydt handled a considerable volume of corporate Notgeld printing for Rhineland issuers during this period. The Merkelbach reference range 56–64 suggests this note belongs to a numbered series of nine consecutive issues, all from the same frantic weeks of late 1923 before the Rentenmark stabilization ended the need entirely.
