| Opmerkingen |
Duisburg's municipal administration — like hundreds of German cities — became a de facto currency issuer during the hyperinflation of 1923, stepping in as the Reichsbank failed to keep pace with denominations that doubled within days. This note, denominated in the ten billions, was issued during the period of Franco-Belgian occupation of the Ruhr, which had begun in January 1923 and directly strangled the region's industrial tax base, accelerating local fiscal collapse faster than almost anywhere else in Germany.
Notgeld at this scale was not commemorative — it was functional desperation, spent within hours of receipt before its value evaporated.
