| Opmerkingen |
Gelsenkirchen was deep coal-mining territory, and the municipal authority there — covering both the city and surrounding rural district — issued emergency Notgeld like most German localities during the hyperinflation of 1923. By the time seven-figure denominations were necessary, the Reichsmark was losing value faster than notes could be printed and distributed. Municipal issuers were filling a practical gap left by an overwhelmed central banking system.
The million-mark ceiling would itself be obsolete within weeks of this note's issue date.
