Kreis Worms was one of hundreds of German municipal and district authorities that resorted to issuing emergency currency — Notgeld — as the Reichsmark collapsed in 1923. By the time billion-mark denominations appeared in late summer and autumn of that year, the hyperinflation had entered its terminal phase: the Reichsbank simply could not print and distribute notes fast enough to keep pace with depreciation, forcing local governments to fill the gap.
District-level issues like this one were typically printed on short runs by local or regional printers, which means paper quality and ink consistency vary considerably across surviving examples. The billion-mark threshold was crossed in a matter of weeks — notes of this face value were themselves obsolete within days of issue.
