| Comments |
One of hundreds of Notgeld issues authorised during the hyperinflation peak of late 1923, when the Reichsbank's printing capacity had simply collapsed under demand and regional authorities were permitted — effectively compelled — to issue their own emergency paper. The Bezirksverband of Dresden-Neustadt was a district administrative body rather than a financial institution, which tells you how far normal monetary infrastructure had broken down by the time this 100-million-mark denomination was considered a practical, everyday denomination.
Johannes Pässler was a local Dresden-Neustadt printer, not a specialist banknote house. Paper quality and registration on issues from small regional printers like this one is frequently inconsistent across surviving examples.
