| Comments |
Leutkirch's Oberamtssparkasse was one of hundreds of German district savings institutions forced into emergency currency production during the hyperinflation peak of late 1923, when the Reichsbank's own supply chain could not keep pace with denomination requirements. At 100 billion Mark, this note belongs to the final, almost absurd stratum of the inflation — figures that had ceased to carry intuitive meaning for the public spending them.
Local printing in Leutkirch meant quality control varied considerably across the run. Ink bleed and registration shifts are not uncommon in this series.
