| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed in dark brown/black on cream paper, the reverse is dominated by a large central oval guilloche rosette in reddish-brown tones enclosing the bold numeral '500' above the Fraktur legend 'Millionen Mark'. The design is entirely typographic, relying on the guilloche pattern for decorative structure with no pictorial vignette; faint show-through of the obverse applied stamps and text is visible. |

| Opmerkingen |
Burg bei Magdeburg was one of hundreds of German municipalities forced into emergency currency production during the hyperinflation peak of late 1923, when the Reichsbank's output could not keep pace with denominations spiraling week by week. A local printer covering a local crisis — A. Hopfer was not a specialist currency house, which is exactly the point. These notes were functional objects, printed fast and spent faster, often within days of issue before their face value became meaningless again.
The 500,000,000 Mark denomination places this firmly in the autumn 1923 collapse, when nine-digit figures had become routine grocery-run arithmetic.
