10 Mark

Geising is a small mining town in the Erzgebirge, and its 1918 notgeld issues belong to the wave of emergency municipal currency that flooded Germany as central coin supplies collapsed during the final year of the war. Towns like Geising had no printing infrastructure of their own — these notes were typically ordered from local or regional job printers, with official validity conferred entirely by the applied stamp and authorizing signature rather than by any sophisticated security printing.

The 10 Mark denomination is on the higher end for municipal notgeld of this period, when most towns kept issues to small change equivalents. Verify that both the stamp impression and signature are complete and legible — these are the only elements that gave the note legal standing locally.
