| Comments |
The Sächsische Bank zu Dresden was one of four German private note-issuing banks still operating during the hyperinflation collapse of 1923 — the others being the Bayerische, Badische, and Württembergische Notenbanken. By the time denominations reached the hundred-billion mark range, the Reichsdruckerei in Berlin could not keep pace with demand, forcing regional institutions to arrange their own emergency printing. Dresden's bank turned to local printers, which accounts for the slightly rougher production quality compared to centrally printed issues of the same period.
The denomination itself marks the final weeks before the Rentenmark stabilization of November 15, 1923 rendered the entire inflated series worthless overnight.
