A large-format Gothic-script denomination "500 Millionen Mark" dominates the centre, above which the title "Notgeld des Amtes Rauxel" appears in bold blackletter. The underprint vignette consists of a repeating pattern of townscape vignettes — multi-turreted civic buildings interspersed with small heraldic shields bearing the monogram "AR" — arranged in a grid across the entire field. A circular official dry-stamp of Amt Rauxel, Kreis Dortmund-Land, bearing an eagle, is applied at centre-bottom between two manuscript signatures, with the serial number printed vertically along the left margin. |

Rauxel was a small industrial municipality in the Ruhr — coal country — and its decision to issue 500-million-Mark notes in 1923 was a direct consequence of the French and Belgian occupation of the region that began in January of that year. The Reichsbank could not keep pace with hyperinflation running at rates that doubled prices every few days, so thousands of German municipalities, firms, and utilities printed their own emergency currency: Notgeld. Rauxel was one of hundreds.
A print run of over twelve million pieces for a single denomination from a town of this size reflects just how rapidly the zeros were becoming meaningless by late 1923. Within weeks of issue, 500 million Marks would barely cover a loaf of bread.
