| Opmerkingen |
Viersen's 10-million Mark note was issued during the acute hyperinflationary collapse of summer–autumn 1923, when German municipal governments — Städte and Gemeinden — were legally empowered to issue their own emergency currency, Notgeld, to meet payroll and local commerce demands as Reichsbank supply chains failed to keep pace with daily denomination requirements. By August 1923, a 10-million Mark face value was roughly equivalent to a loaf of bread; within weeks, that same note would be functionally worthless.
Locally printed Notgeld of this period is prone to ink strike-through and paper brittleness — high-speed printing on wartime-surplus stock was common.
