Säckingen's 1922 notgeld issue came at the peak of Germany's hyperinflationary spiral, when municipalities across the country were authorized to print emergency currency to relieve chronic coin shortages. Local printing — by Gustav Meba, a Säckingen firm — was common for these issues, keeping production costs down and turnaround fast. The watermarked paper was an attempt at minimal security for a note everyone understood would be short-lived.
The 100 Mark denomination places this squarely in the transitional phase: a sum that felt substantial in 1921 was approaching worthlessness by late 1922.
