Bocholt's million-mark note is a product of the Papiermark's terminal collapse in mid-1923, when municipal and commercial entities across Germany were legally permitted — effectively required — to print their own emergency currency because Reichsbank supply could not keep pace with hyperinflation. Josef Neyenhaus was a local print shop, not a security printer; the note was produced on whatever stock was available, which accounts for the variable paper quality seen across surviving examples.
Westphalian Notgeld at this denomination was typically in circulation for days, sometimes hours, before becoming worthless.
