| Comments |
The Württembergische Notenbank was one of four German private note-issuing banks permitted to continue operating under the Reichsbank Law of 1875, which systematically eliminated most regional banks of issue. Stuttgart held its ground, surviving through the Kaiserreich period and into Weimar before finally surrendering its issuing rights in 1924.
Giesecke & Devrient's Leipzig plant handled production throughout the series run — the same house already printing for the Reichsbank itself, which gives some sense of the technical standard applied. The relatively long issuance window of nearly a decade suggests multiple print runs under the same basic plate design.
