| Comments |
Danzig's hyperinflation issues of 1923 are well-documented, but the printing date here is almost certainly erroneous — 30 April 1945 was the day Hitler died in Berlin, by which point Danzig had already fallen to Soviet forces. The Free City itself had ceased to exist in 1939 when it was forcibly annexed into the Reich. No issuing authority existed in Danzig on that date capable of printing anything.
Treat the 1945 date as a cataloging error. The note belongs to the hyperinflation sequence the Senat issued across 1923 as German-currency parity collapsed, denominations climbing from thousands into the billions within months.
