| Obverse description | The face presents a side-by-side vignette pairing a reproduction of the 1,000 Deutsche Mark banknote with the 500 Euro design, with conversion equivalence values printed between the two to illustrate the exchange relationship at the time of the euro's introduction. A specimen serial number is overprinted, and the euro symbol appears in both Latin and Greek scripts. The layout serves as an informational transitional piece rather than a circulating currency design. |
