| Reverse description | The reverse is an unprinted mirror image (show-through) of the obverse text, visible through the thin paper stock, with no independent design or overprint applied. The guilloche border and all typeset elements from the face are faintly legible in reverse, confirming the single-sided printing technique used for this Notgeld issue. |

| Comments |
Stollberg im Erzgebirge was a small Saxon mining district, and its Amtshauptmannschaft — a sub-regional administrative body — issued this note during the hyperinflationary crisis of 1923, when the Reichsbank simply could not produce currency fast enough to meet payroll and daily commerce. The Rats-Druckerei R. Dulce in Glauchau was a local municipal press, not a specialist banknote printer, which shows in the relatively modest production values typical of Saxony's lower-tier Notgeld issuers.
At 100,000 Mark, this denomination reflects the acceleration phase of the inflation — by mid-1923, notes of this face value were already losing purchasing power within days of issue.
