| Comments |
Dortmund and Hörde were still separate municipalities in 1923 — they wouldn't merge into a unified Dortmund until 1928 — which is why the issuing authority reads as a joint magistracy. This note is a product of the German hyperinflation emergency, when municipal and corporate bodies across the Ruhr were forced to print their own Notgeld simply to meet payroll, as Reichsbank-issued currency couldn't be produced fast enough to keep pace with collapsing purchasing power.
W. Crüwell was a Dortmund commercial printer, not a security printing house. The embossed seal was the primary authenticity check — a thin defence against forgery for a denomination that would have been nearly worthless within weeks of issue.
