Krefeld's municipal administration — like dozens of German cities in 1923 — assumed emergency note-issuing powers during the hyperinflationary collapse, producing Notgeld denominated in the millions as the Reichsmark disintegrated in real time. The 2,000,000 Mark denomination places this note squarely in the summer-to-autumn 1923 window, when municipal and corporate issuers scrambled to provide usable currency faster than the Reichsbank could print it.
Wilhelm Wefers was a local Krefeld printer, not a specialist banknote firm — which is exactly the point. By mid-1923, the technical barrier to issuing emergency currency had collapsed entirely. Dr. Johansen's signature as Oberbürgermeister gave it legal standing; Wefers gave it physical form.
