Gera issued this 10 Mark Notgeld in 1919 as the new Weimar government struggled to supply enough Reichsbank currency to meet basic transactional demand. The note was authorized under Stadt Gera's status as a Residenzstadt — a former princely residential capital of the Reuss principality, which had ceased to exist just months earlier with the abdication of Heinrich XXVII in November 1918. The irony of a freshly dethroned dynasty's capital city printing emergency money to keep commerce moving was not lost on contemporaries.
The blind stamp is the sole security feature — a physical embossment pressed without ink, easily verified by touch but offering minimal protection against forgery. Typical of municipal issues at this tier.
