| Reverse description | Printed in blue on plain paper, the reverse is dominated by a dense geometric guilloche pattern filling the central panel. '500 000 Mark' appears in large gothic numerals at the top of the panel, with 'Notgeld der Stadt Bochum' and 'Fünfhunderttausend' inscribed in blackletter script within the guilloche field; the municipal coat of arms of Bochum is centrally placed within the pattern.
