| Opmerkingen |
Pforzheim's municipal administration issued this hundred-billion Mark note in the autumn of 1923, one of hundreds of German local authorities forced into emergency currency production as Reichsbank supply collapsed under hyperinflation. The Notgeld issued at this denomination level represents the very peak of the crisis — by November 1923, a single US dollar exchanged for roughly 4.2 trillion Marks, rendering notes like this effectively worthless within days of printing.
The official stamp was the city's primary authentication mechanism, applied locally to distinguish genuine civic issue from forgeries, which proliferated badly at this stage of the inflation. Pforzheim, a center of the German jewelry and precision instrument trade, was particularly exposed — its export-dependent manufacturers were navigating wage calculations in denominations that had no historical precedent.
