| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark brown letterpress on a green guilloche underprint, with the denomination spelled out in bold Gothic script as 'Fünfhundert Millionen' across the upper left, complemented by the word 'MARK' in large block capitals to the right. The centre carries the issuing authority text 'GUTSCHEIN DER STADT LUDWIGSHAFEN', the place and date of issue 'Ludwigshafen a.Rh. den 28. Sept. 1923', and the title of the signatory 'Der Oberbürgermeister' above a manuscript signature. A large pink letterpress underprint reading 'FÜNFHUNDERT MILLIONEN MARK' runs diagonally across the lower centre, while a right-hand panel enclosed in guilloche latticework carries the numeral '500' and the words 'MILLIONEN MARK' in stacked vertical arrangement. |
