One of thousands of municipal and district-level emergency currency issues that flooded Germany during the hyperinflation of 1923. The Kreissparkasse des Landkreises Linden — the district savings bank for Linden, near Hannover — was among the countless local institutions authorized to issue Notgeld when the Reichsbank could no longer supply enough currency to meet daily transactional needs. By mid-1923, 200,000 Mark was barely sufficient for minor purchases; denominations would climb into the billions within weeks of most issues at this level.
Linden was absorbed into Greater Hannover in 1920, making the district's independent institutional identity already somewhat vestigial by the time this note circulated.
