| Opmerkingen |
Germany in 1918 was hemorrhaging currency. The Reichsbank could not keep pace with wartime demand, so regional savings institutions — including ducal-era holdovers like the Braunschweigische Sparkasse — were authorized to issue their own notgeld at higher denominations. A 100 Mark note from a provincial savings bank was extraordinary; most notgeld topped out at 50 Pfennig or 1 Mark. The backing was nominal at best, the war already lost.
The cardboard substrate is characteristic of late-war German emergency issues, when paper stocks were being rationed as aggressively as everything else.
