| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central motif of a flaming torch head occupying the field, rendered in relief. Surrounding the torch, a circular Latin legend reads the issuing authority, regional designation, date, and denomination. The inscription is arranged in full around the periphery, with the denomination expressed in millions of Mark. The overall design conveys the patriotic and emergency character of the issue, typical of German hyperinflationary notgeld coinage of 1923. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By mid-1923, Germany's hyperinflation had so outpaced paper note production that municipalities and regional bodies issued their own emergency coinage — Notgeld — simply to keep commerce moving. This piece, denominated at 500 million Mark, was issued to serve the Rhineland and Ruhr, a region already under French and Belgian military occupation since January 1923. The occupation itself had triggered the final, catastrophic acceleration of inflation: Berlin's policy of "passive resistance" meant the government paid striking workers in newly printed marks, destroying what remained of the currency's value.
A denomination of 500 million marks would have bought roughly a loaf of bread — briefly.
