| Comments |
By mid-1923, the inflation crisis had made official Reichsbank notes structurally inadequate — denominations became obsolete faster than presses could print them. This note is a Notgeld issue jointly underwritten by three Hanover trade bodies: the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Agriculture, and the Chamber of Crafts. The cooperation across three distinct economic constituencies was administratively unusual; most emergency currency of this period was issued by a single municipal or commercial authority.
J. C. König & Ebhardt, the Hanover printer responsible for this note, was primarily a bookbinding and stationery firm — not a specialist security printer. That provenance matters, since authentication of inflationary Notgeld often hinges on paper stock and typographic detail rather than intaglio security features.
