The Deutsche Notenbank was the East German state bank that replaced the Deutsche Emissions- und Girobank in 1954, functioning under direct Soviet-zone financial controls. This 1964 issue came during a period of relative currency stabilization in the DDR, following the 1961 construction of the Berlin Wall, which finally allowed East German authorities to enforce hard separation between the two German monetary systems — something the open border had made practically impossible for over a decade.

Giesecke & Devrient's Leipzig facility handled DDR note production throughout this period, the western parent firm's East German operations running entirely separately from its Munich work.
