| Opmerkingen |
Eschweiler and Stolberg were neighboring industrial towns in the Rhineland whose municipal authorities, like hundreds of German cities in late 1923, began printing their own emergency currency as the Reichsbank's hyperinflationary spiral made official notes worthless almost immediately upon issue. This joint issuance — two municipalities combining on a single notgeld series — was an administrative convenience driven by the sheer pace of denomination escalation. By the time 100-billion-mark notes were necessary, the printing logistics had become as chaotic as the economics.
The Merkelbach catalog reference places this firmly within the documented Rhineland notgeld corpus, though survival rates for these late hyperinflationary issues vary sharply: many were redeemed almost immediately after the Rentenmark stabilization in November 1923 and pulped.
