MIAMA — Mitteldeutsche Ausstellung für Siedelung, Sozialfürsorge und Arbeit — was a regional trade and social welfare exhibition held in Magdeburg in 1922, and this 10 Mark note was issued as Serienschein, collector-oriented Notgeld rather than emergency currency. By mid-1922 German inflation had made low-denomination notes economically trivial, and municipalities had long since learned that souvenir issues sold to collectors generated real revenue. Magdeburg's city administration issued this piece explicitly to profit from that market.
Brückner's press in Magdeburg handled the printing locally, which was practical given the exhibition's civic character. The series is well-documented but individual pieces in undamaged condition are harder to locate than the print run might suggest — souvenir buyers were not always careful keepers.
