The denomination "500 000" is printed in large bold numerals at upper centre, flanked by the word "Gutschein" at left and the validity inscription at upper right, while a broad central panel in Gothic blackletter script carries the denomination in full as "Fünfhunderttausend Mark" over a lightly printed guilloche underprint. Below, a text line states the redemption obligation of the Bezirkskasse, followed by the place and date "Bautzen, am 22. August 1923" and the issuing authority, with two manuscript signatures of the Amtshauptmann and Bezirkskassierer at the foot.
