| Opmerkingen |
The Rentenmark stabilization of November 1923 made most emergency currency obsolete almost immediately, but before that anchor arrived, provincial and municipal institutions across Germany were issuing their own stopgap paper at a frantic pace. The Landesbank der Provinz Westfalen's dollar-pegged note is a product of that specific window — the late hyperinflation period when tying a denomination to a foreign currency was one of the few ways to give a note any credible purchasing power at all.
The 4.2 Goldmark equivalence reflects the official gold parity rate of the pre-war Reichsmark to the US dollar. Notgeld issuers used it to signal stability, not because redemption in dollars was ever genuinely on offer.
