| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vignette of Boothill Cemetery in Tombstone, Arizona, centred on the headstones and memorial of Billy Clanton, Frank McLaury, and Tom McLaury, all three killed on October 26, 1881. The somber funerary composition is rendered in a detailed illustrative style consistent with Old West commemorative fantasy notes. Inscriptions include the place name "TOMBSTONE, AZ" and the epitaph "LORD HAVE MERCY" beneath the individual grave markers. |

This is novelty scrip, not a genuine banknote. No government or central bank has ever issued a one-million-dollar denomination in USD — the highest denomination ever officially circulated in the United States was the $10,000 Federal Reserve Note, last printed in 1945. The "Tombstone" branding and the million-dollar figure place this firmly in the souvenir or promotional category, mass-produced for the tourist trade.
The watermark is a selling point for the novelty market, not a security measure with any monetary function behind it.
