| Obverse description | Salmon-pink Notgeld issued on 25 September 1923, with a dense guilloche underprint of repeated '500' numerals across the entire field. The large teal denomination numeral '500' dominates the upper centre, flanked by the inscriptions 'DUISBURG' and 'AM RHEIN' in bold letterpress, with 'MILLIONEN MARK' set below in heavy gothic type. The lower portion carries the date, a circular official seal of the Stadt Duisburg Notgeld, a manuscript signature under the title 'DER OBERBÜRGERMEISTER', and a red serial number at lower left. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in the same salmon-pink and teal two-colour scheme, with a repetitive guilloche underprint of '500' numerals filling the background. At centre, a large heraldic vignette of the Duisburg city coat of arms — an eagle above a crenellated tower within a cartouche — is overprinted by the bold teal denomination text '500 MILLIONEN MARK' arranged across the shield. The inscriptions 'DUISBURG' and 'AM RHEIN' appear at upper left and right respectively, and the border legends are repeated top and bottom. |
