The 10 Reichsmark series of 1929 was part of the Reichsbank's post-stabilization currency regime, issued after the catastrophic hyperinflation of 1921–1923 had been suppressed by the Rentenmark and subsequent currency reform. By 1929, the Reichsmark had achieved credibility — briefly. The Wall Street Crash that same year began unraveling the American short-term loans that had been propping up Weimar Germany's economy under the Dawes Plan, and notes like this one entered circulation into a banking system that would face severe stress within two years.
Pick distinguishes the 180b suffix on the basis of signature combinations. The Reichsdruckerei in Berlin produced the entire series in-house, an arrangement that gave the German state direct control over production costs and security specifications — a deliberate policy choice after the chaotic outsourcing of the inflation years.
