| Opmerkingen |
The Bayerische Notenbank was one of four German state banks still legally permitted to issue currency under the Reichsbank framework — a holdover from the pre-unification banking structure that became suddenly consequential during the hyperinflation of 1923. This million-mark note was not a curiosity when issued; by late 1923 a single tram ticket in Munich cost more.
Bavaria's political situation that autumn compounded everything. The state was under a right-wing emergency government, and the Reichsbank's authority over monetary policy was effectively ignored in several southern districts. Notes from the Bayerische Notenbank circulated alongside Reichsbank issues without clear hierarchy.
The note was printed locally in Munich — unusual for high-denomination emergency issues of this period, when many regional authorities outsourced to Leipzig or Berlin printers under time pressure.
