| Comments |
The Nassauische Landesbank, headquartered in Wiesbaden, was a regional state bank with roots in the former Duchy of Nassau — absorbed into Prussia after 1866 but allowed to retain its financial institutions. By 1922, Germany's hyperinflationary spiral was accelerating rapidly, and 1,000 Mark notes that would have been significant sums just three years earlier were becoming functionally routine within months of issue.
Carl Naumann's Druckerei in Frankfurt am Main handled a considerable volume of emergency and inflation-era currency for regional German issuers during this period. Whether this run was printed on short notice to meet liquidity demands is not documented, but the 1922 date places it squarely in the phase before the catastrophic collapse of late 1923.
