Falkenburg in Pommern — now Złocieniec in northwestern Poland — was a small market town with no particular financial weight, yet like hundreds of German municipalities in the autumn of 1923, its treasury was legally obligated to supply circulating currency when the Reichsbank could not keep pace with hyperinflation. The 100 Milliarden Mark denomination places this note squarely in the final weeks of the crisis, when the Rentenmark stabilization was already being prepared in Berlin.
Notgeld at this scale was often printed on whatever stock was available, and Pomeranian municipal issues from this period are among the less-documented in the DeNG series — local archives were substantially disrupted after 1945 when the region passed to Poland.
