| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark green and red-pink tones on a guilloche underprint ground. The denomination "FÜNFHUNDERTTAUSEND" is set in large bold letterpress type across the upper field, above a large watermark-style numeral "500000" underprint at centre. Two circular medallion vignettes — each bearing a portrait bust — flank the central text block, which carries the issuing authority's redemption clause in small type. The denomination line "500000 MARK 500000" appears in bold across the lower centre, with the issue date "Hamborn a. Rh., den 25. Juli 1923" and the issuer's full name below, accompanied by two manuscript facsimile signatures. |
