| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by the large denomination inscription "Fünfhundert Milliarden" in ornate Gothic letterpress script across the centre, with "Mark" set within a decorative guilloche cartouche below. The issuer name "Württembergische Notenbank" appears along all four margins as a repeated border legend, with an anti-counterfeiting warning in small text above the central vignette. The date "Stuttgart, 20. November 1923" and two manuscript signatures appear at the lower centre, with role designations "Für den Aufsichtsrat" and "Der Vorstand" flanking them. |

| Reverse description | The reverse centres on the Württemberg coat of arms — three stags' antlers on a quartered shield — supported by two rampant stags as heraldic supporters, all rendered in a fine letterpress underprint. The numeral "500,000,000,000" is printed above the coat of arms, while the denomination "Fünfhundert Milliarden Mark" appears in large Gothic script below it. A serial number prefixed "H" is printed at lower right, and the text confirming payment in Reichswährung and the recall notice of 30 November 1923 fills the lower portion of the note, with "Fünfhundert Milliarden" repeated in the outer margins on all four sides. |
