| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into two main panels within a brown ornamental border carrying the legend NOTGELD DES KREISES NEUWIED at top and bottom. The left panel bears a large green underprint over which the denomination Fünfhunderttausend Mark is rendered in bold black Fraktur script, below which the issuing authority and date of issue appear in letterpress. To the right, a brown-tinted intaglio-style vignette presents a half-length portrait of Friedrich Graf zu Wied, founder of the city of Neuwied in 1653, captioned accordingly below, with the numeral 500000 repeated above and below the portrait. A decorative foliate cartouche at the far right encloses the numeral 500000, and the serial number appears in green at lower right. |
