| Comments |
Amtshauptmannschaft Bautzen was an administrative district in Saxony, and this 100 Mark note is a piece of German Notgeld — emergency money issued by local authorities during the hyperinflationary spiral of 1922, when the Reichsbank simply could not supply enough currency to meet daily transaction demand. Hundreds of German municipalities and districts printed their own in this period, and the quality varied enormously.
Stengel & Co. of Dresden had a strong reputation as a fine-art publisher and postcard printer, which is why their Notgeld commissions tend to show more care in execution than notes run off by local jobbing printers.
