Bavaria retained the right to issue its own banknotes under the German imperial banking settlement of 1875, making the Bayerische Notenbank one of four privileged state banks still operating alongside the Reichsbank into the Weimar period. This 10-million-Mark note was issued in August 1923, when hyperinflation was accelerating fast enough that denominations became obsolete within weeks of printing.
The Munich press had little time for refinement. Overprint-style production shortcuts were common across all German emergency issues that summer, and the Bayerische Notenbank series is no exception.
