Bergbau-Aktien-Gesellschaft Lothringen was a Ruhr coal mining company based in Gerthe, near Bochum, and this note belongs to the enormous wave of Notgeld emergency currency that German industrial firms printed in 1923 to pay workers when hyperinflation outpaced the Reichsbank's ability to supply adequate denominations. Mining companies were among the most active issuers — weekly wages required denominations that simply didn't exist in official currency.
The Kellermann signature is that of a company officer, not a bank official. No central authority backed this paper; its value expired rapidly by design.
