| Comments |
The 1910 series of 1000 Mark Reichsbanknotes remained in circulation far longer than intended — the design was still being issued into the early Weimar period, eventually becoming one of the denominations swept up in the catastrophic hyperinflation of 1921–1923. Notes of this type were overprinted or simply spent at velocities that destroyed most surviving examples in the process.
The green seal distinguishes this from earlier issues in the same base series, a modification introduced to differentiate authorization batches rather than for security purposes.
