| Beschrijving voorzijde | This note is a reissue of the original 1937 Deutsche Rentenbank Rentenbankschein, overstamped with a green coupon-style adhesive label affixed to the right margin bearing the numeral '2' and the year '1948' in black on a green guilloche ground, effectively validating the old note for circulation in the Soviet occupation zone. The main body retains the original brown intaglio-printed Gothic blackletter text on a fine guilloche underprint, with a red serial number printed at the top centre. A circular embossed dry stamp impression is visible on the tan right panel below the green coupon. |

The Deutsche Rentenbank was not a central bank but an agricultural credit institution, yet it found itself issuing emergency currency in the immediate postwar period because no proper monetary authority yet existed in the Western occupation zones. These 2 Mark notes were part of the June 1948 currency reform that replaced the Reichsmark — one of the most abrupt monetary transitions in modern European history, executed over a single weekend.
Each household received a per-capita allowance of 40 Deutsche Mark in the new currency; businesses received small operational floats. The reform instantly drained black markets and restocked shop shelves within days, which contemporaries found almost surreal after years of scarcity.
Print run of just over 12 million is modest relative to higher denominations in the same series.
