| Opmerkingen |
A municipal emergency note from the peak of the German hyperinflation, when local authorities across Bavaria were printing their own currency to meet payroll and keep commerce moving after the Reichsbank could no longer supply adequate denominations fast enough. By August–November 1923, denominations in the millions and billions were routine, not extraordinary — the 20 million mark figure here represents roughly one week's purchasing power during the stabilization run-up, before the Rentenmark reset the entire system in November.
J. E. Ried was a local printing house, not a specialist security printer. The official seal substitutes for the technical safeguards that a proper banknote would carry.
