Obverse description Plain letterpress Notgeld voucher (Gutschein) printed in black on cream paper within a zigzag-rule border, with the denomination 'Fünfhunderttausend Mark' set in large script typeface at centre and the numeral '500 000 Mark' at upper right. Below the denomination, a two-line redemption clause references the Laufener Wochenblatt, with the issue date 'Laufen (Obb.), 22. August 1923' immediately beneath. At the foot, two manuscript signatures appear under the roles 'Stadtrat' and 'Stadtkassa', flanking a circular municipality seal impressed in blue-green ink, with the printer's imprint 'J. E. Ried, Laufen.' along the lower margin.
