| Comments |
Eschershausen is a small town in the Brunswick region, and like hundreds of German municipalities it was forced into emergency currency production during the hyperinflation of 1923. By the time denominations reached the hundred-billion mark, the Reichsbank's own supply chain had collapsed under the printing demand, and local issuers were filling the gap with whatever printer happened to be nearby. C. Bruns was a local press — not a specialist banknote printer — which is exactly why this note exists at all.
The Rentenmark reform of November 1923 rendered the entire series worthless within weeks of issue.
