Ahlen's million-mark note is a product of the hyperinflationary peak of summer–autumn 1923, when German municipal and regional authorities were legally permitted to issue emergency currency — Notgeld — to compensate for the central bank's inability to supply adequate denominations fast enough for daily wages. The Stadt Ahlen, a mid-sized Westphalian industrial town, contracted the job to a local printer, E. Schultz, rather than one of the established specialist firms in Berlin or Leipzig. That decision was purely logistical: turnaround time mattered more than engraving quality.
Local production at this denomination tier typically means simpler lithographic work and thinner paper stock — both factors that accelerated physical deterioration in circulation, which at this point was measured in days rather than weeks.
