The denomination '500 000 Mark' appears in bold Gothic numerals at upper left and right, with the word 'Bergmannsgeld' as a faint underprint across the top. The central text in Gothic script reads 'Gutschein über Fünfhunderttausend Mark', followed by redemption conditions referring to the Bochumer Tageszeitungen and the Westfalenbank AG in Bochum, with the issue date 'Gerthe i. W., den 16. Juli 1923' and the issuer name 'Bergbau-Att.-Ges. Lothringen'.

Bergbau-AG Lothringen was a colliery company based in Gerthe, near Bochum, and like hundreds of Ruhr industrial firms in 1923 it was forced into issuing its own emergency currency — Notgeld — to pay its workforce when Reichsbank notes simply could not be printed fast enough to keep pace with hyperinflation. This note, at 500,000 Mark, would have represented serious purchasing power for perhaps a matter of days before the exchange rate moved again.
Company-issued mining Notgeld from the Ruhr is a distinct subcategory; much of it was printed in-house or by local printers with limited means, and survival rates vary sharply depending on whether workers spent the notes immediately or held them as worthless paper within weeks.
