| Comments |
Notgeld at this denomination belongs to the acute hyperinflationary peak of late 1923, when municipal and district authorities across Germany issued emergency paper because Reichsbank notes simply couldn't keep pace with price movements. The joint issue by the districts of Bonn and Sieg is relatively uncommon — most Rhineland Notgeld from this period came from individual municipalities rather than administrative district pairings.
Rhenania-Druckerei was a local Bonn press, not a specialist security printer, yet the inclusion of a watermark indicates some attempt at anti-counterfeiting even as the face value became meaningless within days of printing.
