This is the Bank Deutscher Länder 20 Mark issued under the June 1948 currency reform — one of the most consequential monetary events in postwar European history. The reform wiped out the Reichsmark overnight, replacing it at a brutal 10:1 ratio for most holdings, and these early BDL notes were rushed into circulation with almost no lead time. The Allied-controlled printing logistics meant the notes were actually produced in the United States, by the American Bank Note Company and others, before being shipped to Germany.
The BDL series was always intended as a transitional issue, pending the establishment of the Bundesbank in 1957.
