| Comments |
Deutsche Erdöl-Aktiengesellschaft was a petroleum and mining company whose Borna operations centered on lignite extraction in the Saxony coalfields. This note is a piece of Notgeld — emergency scrip issued by a private industrial employer rather than a bank or municipality. During the hyperinflation peak of 1923, many large industrial concerns in Germany printed their own high-denomination scrip to meet weekly payroll obligations when Reichsbank notes simply could not be supplied fast enough to keep pace with wage demands.
J. J. Weber in Leipzig was primarily known as an illustrated periodical and book printer; their involvement here reflects how indiscriminately the scrip printing trade expanded across any capable press in 1923.
