Jerichow II was one of two administrative districts (Kreise) sharing the Jerichow name in the Prussian province of Saxony — a quirk of Prussian territorial organization that occasionally causes catalogers to conflate issues from Jerichow I and Jerichow II. This 1 Mark note is a piece of Kleingeldscheine, the small-denomination notgeld issued by municipal and district authorities during the inflationary disruptions of the early Weimar period, when metal coinage had largely vanished from circulation.
Genthin, the district seat, served as the point of issue. The Kreisausschuss — the elected district committee — held the legal authority to authorize such emergency obligations.
