Ludwigshafen issued this 2-million Mark note during the summer of 1923, when municipal and commercial authorities across Germany were printing their own emergency currency — Notgeld — because the Reichsbank simply could not supply denominations fast enough to keep pace with hyperinflation. By August of that year, prices were doubling roughly every few days, which meant a note in this denomination could be rendered inadequate for basic transactions within a week of printing.
Weiss & Hambier were a local printing firm, not a specialist security printer. That provenance shows.
