| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in brown on plain white paper and carries a wide central vignette in a linear engraving style illustrating six male industrial workers engaged in various labour activities — sawing, hammering at an anvil, operating heavy machinery, and hauling rope — set against a crosshatched background with a large cogwheel visible behind the central figures. The place name "HOMBERG NIEDERRHEIN" arches across the top of the vignette within the upper border. Below the vignette, a bold rectangular panel displays the denomination "500 MILLIONEN M·A·R·K" in large serif type with decorative wavy underline rules, enclosed within a plain double-rule frame. |
