The lower portion carries a multi-line legal text confirming coverage by Reichsschatzanweisungen and acceptance by communal savings banks and district banks, dated 'Düren, Euskirchen, Jülich, Stolberg, Eschweiler, 15. Febr. 1923', with facsimile signatures of the Landräte, members of the Kreisausschüsse, the Vereinigung der Industriellen von Düren u. Umgegend e.V., and the Handelskammer Stolberg. |

| Reverse description | Dark green letterpress on pale rose-tinted paper, centred on a circular vignette enclosing an allegorical composition of an anchor, bales of goods, and a cogwheel evoking the commercial and industrial character of the issuing region. The circular frame bears the legend 'DÜREN · EUSKIRCHEN · JÜLICH · STOLBERG · ESCHWEILER' in capital letters, flanked on either side by the large outline numerals '500000'. A dense text underprint repeating the district names in small letterpress type fills the background within a guilloche outer border. |
