| Obverse description | Printed in teal-green on white paper, the note is divided vertically into two panels. The left panel carries the municipal coat of arms of Rheydt — a heraldic shield quartered with a turreted castle above and a Teutonic cross below — beneath which the legend 'Gutschein der Stadt Rheydt' is set in Gothic script, with the series and serial number in the upper left corner. The right panel bears the denomination 'Fünfhundertmillionen Mark' in bold Gothic lettering across the top, with the numeral '500' rendered as a large pale underprint guilloche and the word 'MILLIONEN' in large capitals overlaid upon it; below, a three-line redemption text, the date 'Rheydt, den 28. Aug. 1923', the title 'Der Oberbürgermeister', and a manuscript signature of the mayor complete the design. The printer's imprint 'Heinrich Deussen & Co. Rheydt' appears at the foot of the note. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in teal-green on white paper with a decorative guilloche border framing the entire field. A central oval vignette contains a photographic-style letterpress view of the Rheydt Town Hall (Rathaus), a neo-Renaissance municipal building with a prominent clock tower. The denomination '500,000,000' appears in large Gothic numerals along the top edge, while the figure '500.000.000' is repeated vertically in elliptical cartouches on both the left and right margins. The issuer name 'Stadt Rheydt' is inscribed in bold Gothic script along the lower edge. |
